Bailey - Chief Engineer} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/M16. 2. 24. DIPPING HEAD LIGHTS. 20 HP. X.4555. Sales inform us that on the 40/50 HP. Messrs. Barkers make the large lamps used on these cars dip to the extent that the top of the outermost rim of the lamp moves forward from the vertical a distance of 2 1/4". From this it will be possible to ascertain the angle of dip, and we think a similar angle should be applied to Goshawk. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
