| X6032 RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/HEW. c. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/HEW4/AD20.8.31. H.F. TYPE ELECTRIC HORN. Will you please have fitted to 18-GIV a Lucas H.F. Alto horn with a chromium plated Grille front. We require this Horn fitting outside the bonnet on the front cross member and we have had made a suitable clip mounting for this. As we wish to keep the Klaxon on the car as well for comparison, will you please have this horn wired up to an auxiliary push button on the steering column at the side preferably. A tapping wire can be taken from the distribution board for this purpose, one side of the horn being earthed to the frame. We have both horn and push button available when required.
