| To BT{Capt. J. S. Burt - Engineer} from DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/THR. c. to EFC. X.1357 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/THR1/CB12-5-21. X.1357. RE WIRING FOR DOUBLE SIDE LAMPS. X.805. [Stamp: RECEIVED 10 MAY 1921] Replying to your letter - reference BY/MTN5/P14-2-21. We have obtained a switch which we think suitable for the job. You will notice the name "Lucas" is rather prominent but if you have any objections Messrs Lucas agree to alter same on further supplies. We feel the flange itself is unnecessarily large in diameter, but no doubt if you decide to take up the question of "Name" you could also have future switches supplied with smaller diameter flange. Say 2" dia. Switch handed to Mr Booth. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/THR. | ||
