Bailey - Chief Engineer} /RD. re Two Tone Wind Horns. Referring to the above I am having a scheme made for utilising the present Klaxon button to give the two tones by rocking the button instead of having an extra changeover switch. This involves using a twin cable down the centre of the steering column, but it is believed that owing to the small size of the current necessary with this relay system a twin cable can be obtained and used which will be small enough to be accommodated within the existing space. BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /RD is proceeding with this forthwith at my request. E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
