Sidgreaves - MD} c. to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. to BP. BY/RD.8/B.11.3.38. HEADLAMPS. We are pleased to hear (Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}3/KW.10.3.38) that Lp.{Mr Lappin}, has found the shorter plunger satisfactory, and this confirms our own road test on a similar thing. We suggest that the smaller angle of dip be introduced at the same time as the new junction box for Continental changeover, and will arrange accordingly. The angle of dip in the past, has been 4° and this shorter plunger gives only 3°. Noticed FD{Frank Dodd - Bodies} BY/RD. | ||
