Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.15/KW.1.2.34. 21-G-IV Headlamps. ------------------- We propose ordering a pair of the latest Zeiss Headlamps for this chassis, in order to compare them with what Messrs. Lucas are giving us at present. It is good policy to use our Experimental Cars for trying out different accessory parts, and as headlamps have been causing us so much trouble lately a pair of Zeiss lamps on a Rolls-Royce chassis might help Lucas to understand our determination for better lamps.
