INDIA 4. CONTROLS ON STEERING COLUMN X7430 X7240

Herewith we send N. sch. 2882. shewing the controls on the top of the steering column lowered into the wheel. The saving in height is approximately 1.150. As the whole gear is smaller than the 40/50 we cannot use the same pieces in every case, but we have endeavoured to use as many as possible.

We have to send you alternative schemes of both cars having the klaxon switch at the bottom of the column.
