Coach-builders Electrical Accessories
Whilst at Chateauroux I had a conversation with Mr Lee-Evans of Tillie Hall on the car electrical fittings from the coach-builders' point of view.
He was pleased to note the provision of an accessory fuse box on the S S chassis but wished that some similar device could be fitted at the rear of the frame to facilitate connecting up rear body lights, cigar lighters &c. He said that although coach-builders' wiring seemed to us very crude (pieces of flex attached to the ammeter &c.)
