| Notes of Meeting Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.14/KW.14.1.35 which indicates that no further work has been carried out on this but it will be kept in its present form at the present time for the purpose of comparison with SpectreCodename for Phantom III. Black-outs on RR cars due to fuses going. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} referred to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.1/WA.{Mr Wallis}18.1.35. It was agreed that our normal scheme was not good as it was easy to break some of the fuse wires when tightening up the connection. HY.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} said that this point has been improved on present production. It was agreed, however, that we should as quickly as possible go a step further and use the type of cartridge fuse suggested in the report referred to. On future cars E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} said that each lamp would have a separate fuse. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
