HIGH FREQUENCY ELECTRIC HORNS ON R.R. CHASSIS. In view of the fact that cheap mass produced cars are being equipped with a dual horn arrangement we should be interested to have Sales opinion with regard to the fitting of a dual horn arrangement to all our chassis. The 40/50 Chassis only has so far been equipped but our testers in France have shewn that the dual horn arrangement is necessary on Peregrine, 20/25 and Bensport, particularly the latter, in order to gain maximum road clearing efficiency at high speeds. In the Expl. Dept we are equipping the new Peregrine and Bensport chassis with dual horns but we understand Sales would not be in agreement with this scheme on Production on the score of cost. We should welcome your views on this matter. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
