Hanbury - Head Complaints} is struck through] EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}3/2.II.32. DUAL HIGH FREQUENCY HORNS. On Friday October 14th. I left at Lillie Hall a pair of the latest Lucas High Frequency Horns fitted up in chromium plated cases and de-tuned approx. a half tone. I left instructions that these were to be fitted to the latest Barker Continental Touring Saloon Trials Car on temporary brackets off the headlamp tubes. The horns were to be vertically under the lamps, and were to be in position if at all possible for you to try during the weekend. This was not thought to be difficult. Since then we have heard no more about these horns. Derby are anxious to standardise them fitted in this way on the Continental Touring Saloon. Could you please let us know what has happened?
