WIRING FOR DUEL HORNS ON R.R. AND BENTLEY CHASSIS.
We have noted on a Bentley Chassis that the wiring for the horns passes up the head lamp pillar and emerges through a hole drilled in the pillar.
There is no protecting ferrule for this hole and we are afraid the wire will chafe and fray and eventually short circuit.
We suggest that a small ebonite or bakelite ferrule be fitted into the hole to prevent this happening.
