P.T. FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} C. to MESSRS. WGR. CR.{Mr Cra???ster / Mr Chichester} ES. HN.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}5/M28.11.31. RECEIVED 30 NOV 1931 X5800 20/25. HEADLAMPS. With reference to BY/CGH{W Clough}11/G241131., we suggest that the additional cable in each conduit at the cost of 1/6 per chassis would be well worth having. Of course the foot switch would be supplied as an extra, and HN.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} is endeavouring to obtain a quotation for this at a specially reduced cost. With reference to the use of the new Lucas lamp this will go on the existing brackets, and therefore unless Sales agree to some scrap being made the taller lamp brackets can come in after the 150th. chassis of T. series. The only exception to this we would like to make would be in the case of special touring saloons such as 20-G-4., which we think should have the raised headlamp brackets, as probably there will be only 2 or 3 of these before we come to the 151st. chassis of T. series. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Cgh{W Clough} has this in hand. DY{F R Danby}/SS.{S. Smith} | ||
