X/LGT4. 11th October 1932. Dear Sirs, We acknowledge your letter of the 7th inst., reference HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/WST.12/KT, in connection with our HF.{H. W. Frost - Coachwork Inspector}725 Electric Horn. We have noted your remarks in connection with the possibility of lightening these Horns, and would inform you that we will, of course, give this matter our attention, but at the same time we would record that we do not think it is possible to reduce the weight of these particular Horns to any appreciable degree without impairing the efficiency of the tone, which we think you will agree with us is an excellent proposition. Assuring you always of our best attention to your requirements. We are, Yours faithfully, JOSEPH LUCAS LIMITED. ELECTRICAL DEPARTMENT. | ||
