| X4291 To BY from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Dimming Light Switch Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}G. for L.H.Chassis. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}10/E12.1.31 I note from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/MJ.10.1.31 he says that RRAI are anticipating the chassis being delivered with a Bosch foot operated dimming switch. A search in the file fails to reveal that this has ever been agreed to. It certainly is not included in the original chassis price nor is it mentioned in the revised and up-to-date specification. If G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} will let me have the cost exclusive of the wiring, which is now standard on N.E., I will quote America for them, but they should not be fitted until we obtain their instructions.
