| Elec. 611b To Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c. to Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /FD. {Frank Dodd - Bodies} Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1/JH.23.1.40. With reference to the attached report from F.Dodd on headlamps, we think the small lamp definitely suits the small radiator better than R.100. We are going to try the horns in the wings. The attached photograph shows a horn in position through the wing. I am sure that when the lamp size is brought down the massive structure connecting the wing and radiator could be re-designed as a simple light pressing. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
