| S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Copy to:- PN.{Mr Northey} X4555 CWB14/GM/29.10.28. DIPPING HEAD LIGHTS. STANDARD PHANTOM. We have received a standardisation sheet X. No. 4555 referring to the above question. This sheet states that a sheet has already been circulated for this scheme as fitted to the Continental Phantom, but I can find no trace of any previous standardisation sheet in our files. I have some recollection that six months or so ago there was some correspondence on this matter at which time the Sales view was given, that dipping head lights should not be standardised unless they swivelled at the same time as they were dipped. There is no change in this view. Could you please therefore give me some further information on this matter. Do these headlights swivel at the same time as they are dipped, or are they exactly the same as fitted to 16-EX? CWB. | ||
