ELECTRIC HORNS With reference to the suggestion made that a Lucas H.F. horn could be produced incorporating a dual sound system, we approached Messrs. Lucas regarding this and they replied as follows :- "In answer to your letter of the 24th ult. regarding the suggestion of making a two-note combination of horns in one assembly, we have spent some time at work on this actual scheme, but have encountered several difficulties. We have not abandoned the idea, however, and we will write you again as soon as ever the idea takes more definite shape." Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
