RE: HEADLIGHT CONTROL.

With reference to the question of providing alternative controls for the headlights, we are informed by E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} that after discussing the matter with Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} we should only provide the additional wiring and leave the coach-builders to fit the footswitch as at present and the changeover switch as and when required.

We are informed by the Estimating Department that the factory cost of the chassis, with the additional wiring would only be increased by about 10d. per chassis. If this is agreed to no doubt you will advise us in due course, so that we can make the necessary arrangements for production chassis to be fitted accordingly.
