BY.C.Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}Dn.Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}Be. (Struck through) re P.100 Head Lamps - Bentley. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}2/E17.5.34 Referring to your Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}6/HP.8.5.34 we have approved of the new type brackets. The horns, however, should be spread further apart so as to permit of A.A. and R.A.C.Badges etc. on the front crossmember. We have done this on En's car. The horns seemed to be unnecessarily high, i.e. there are several pieces of metal bolted together between the top of the crossber and the bottom of the horn which do not seem to serve any useful purpose. Briefly, I should like to see the horns as low as possible on the crossbar. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
