| Oy2/G3.3.21. -2- Contd. the starter push button and the Klaxom horn and body lights. By suitably protecting the terminals at the back of this box, we can render the car (not thief-proof) but immune from casual tampering. This is demanded by some customers, notably on all cars for the West Coast. And it costs in quantities of say one hundred (100) - what do you think? - Six dollars. On 4-EX we shall try to get 4 positions of the control switch "off", "Battery", "Mag & Battery", "Magneto", so that we can dispense with the present switch. Do you think this would be interesting?
