| Y. FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Copy to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} [struck through] Copy to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL P. 2.-N. 2. SERIES. COMBINED REVERSE, STOP & TAIL LAMP. x7800. We send herewith N. schs. 3175/78/79/80., shewing schemes for fitting up cars with a reverse, stop, and tail lamp. N. SCH. 3175. Here we shew the Lucas lamp No. 311. and how we propose to attach it to the bracket, using the holes provided in the lamp. The lamp is more or less permanently attached to its bracket. N. SCH. 3178. (Rear end type 3 & 5.) This design is for rear ends 3 and 5., the wheel carriers where a gate is used. The wiring conduit (flexible) will pass around the hinge of the gate. N. SCH. 3179. (Rear end type 2 & 4.) We shew here a dual lamp like No. 311. and we believe Messrs Lucas can supply the same. Please make enquiries. A combined lamp cannot be got on cars having a grid at the rear. A bracket like this is needed on SG{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s car. N. SCH. 3180. (Rear end type 1.) This shews a scheme for rear end type 1., and cars having no rear wheel carrier or grid. A lamp like this is needed on 27-EX. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} RECEIVED | ||
