RE: LAMP BULBS.

X8800

The correct bulbs to be used in the 40/50 New
Phanton and 20 HP. head lamps are the Lucas bulbs marked :-

B.A.S.4.S.
12-14V. 36 W.
OSRAM (37)
(Gasfilled),

the affix S in the first line denoting single pole.

The Silver Ghost will have the same, but leaving out the
affix S, such bulbs being double pole.

For the side and tail lamps we have generally used :-
Sphinx (Auto Bulbs Ltd) side lamp bulbs, 12-14 Volt,
12 c.p. Bulbs dia. about 26 mm. The smaller
bulbs are preferred a-s the larger ones
will not go in the Lucas spare bulb cases.

Sphinx (Auto Bulbs Ltd.) tail lamp bulbs, 12-14 volt,
3 c.p. No.834P.

though no doubt suitable Lucas bulbs are obtainable.
