| AJL X7/20. To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Headlamps. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}6/E22.9.30 Referring to EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}'s report in regard to 26-EX what do you suggest would be the best way of testing xx a pair of the headlamps he refers to? We have always heard that the Stephen Grebel or Marchel lamps were very much better than the Lucas, and it seems to me that we might obtain a set of the new Legal French headlamps of either pattern with a view to getting them tested and then, if xxxxx they are really so much better, it would probably be best to arrange to fit them to any future propaganda cars for the Continent.
