-2- As you no doubt realize any failure of the head lamps on a high speed Car at Night is exceedingly dangerous and we would like you to consider the possibility of a modification to the wire fixing at this point. We consider a screw terminal with a Ross Courtney fitting on the end of the wire would meet the case ideally. The C.A.V. Vibrator controller has given every satisfaction even with the 48 watt head lamp bulbs we have been using on this chassis. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
