FRAMED INSTRUMENTS. X4250

The sports cars will be fitted with the new type shutter and starter carburetter controls. These controls go with the radiator with integral shutters which will be fitted to this car.

As regards the arrangement of instruments and lighting, we attach a sketch of the arrangement we have on 10-EX. We agree that the lighting on this board is not very satisfactory.
