| -4- Lamps (Contd) As no side wing lamp is purchasable which is suitable for fitting to the SpectreCodename for Phantom III, as the lamps to sit on the wing in a forward position of the centre line of the front wheels, it was agreed that Derby should approach Messrs. Lucas Ltd. with a view to obtaining such a lamp. A stream-lined lamp and a normal wing lamp may be required but it was agreed that for these cars the stream-lined lamp might be used. It was agreed to provide a bracket in the centre of the apron to carry an approved type of fog lamp, Derby to design the bracket. (g) Horns. The Meeting approved of the use of the electrically operated wind dual horns, and it was suggested that these should be mounted below the head lamps in order to avoid a congestion on the apron. It was proposed that Derby should approach Messrs.Lucas Ltd. with a view to obtaining a horn with a curved trumpet to reduce its overall length and that a design be prepared for mounting the horn. (h) Wireless Sets. The Meeting agreed to the proposal that there should be a standard recommendation to Coachbuilders for the fitting of Wireless Receiving Sets to cars both with and without a division, and that this recommendation should be drawn up by Ha/Wst. and R/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} (j) Heaters. It was stated that approximately 10 per cent of the limousine bodies have an interior heater in the rear compartment and about one per cent of the bodies without divisions, when the heater is carried on the back of the dash. To deal with the latter case it was proposed to lay out a position for the heater on the back of the dash and to provide a scheme for cutting away the noise insulation material to fit round the heater. (k) Instrument Board. It was asked that the print of the instrument board should show as large a cubby hole as possible. The board in Contd: | ||
