DESIGN OF TWO-WAY SWITCH FOR CENTRAL LAMP SCHEME. Answering your Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}/Hdy{William Hardy}1/MJV1.2.1.31 we have not yet experienced sufficient running of a Lucas two-way switch on an experimental chassis to come to any conclusion. We have two more of these switches in the laboratory and we are looking into the question of putting these also on experimental cars. In regard to the R.R. design of same, Mr. Elliott is well aware that this matter is on his books for consideration though we understand he is not able to give attention to it owing to pressure of other work.
