73594 W/S. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}10/MJ.11.11.31. SUNVIZORS. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}2/V10.11.31. 27-EX. has a sunvizor of the type you mention, it is hinged to a rail above the windscreen and is in two halves. It is effective in screening the driver and front seat passenger from a certain amount of sun glare. We have not found it to posess any serious disadvantages; it is not a source of danger to anyone entering the car when left in the down position, and it does not appreciably lessen the effective view through the sunshine roof. The only disadvantage is that it does not allow of the use of an interior type driving mirror. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/A.J.Lidsey. | ||
