done with regard to converting the 15 cars to the new lamp position, that is, whether the present fittings can be unbrazed and shortened, or whether any new parts will be required.

(e) Horns.

It was agreed that Hy{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer}/RD. would look into the question of fitting the horns with the grilled fronts, and the domedbacks, reducing the centre distance between the horns if necessary as has been done on the Phantom, to accomodate the increased diameter brought about by the casings round the horns.

(f) Tail Lamps.

With regard to the above, EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} recommends cancelling the special bracket on the chassis for carrying the tail lamp as these lamps, together with the number plate will all be carried on the tail of the body or the wing. With regard to the extra tail lamp for Continental use, this will be supplied as an extra and will also be fixed on the body or wing and can be loop wired into the standard tail lamp provided or into the Lucas adapters provided on the chassis for the normal tail lamp.
