As time goes on I will let you know how the Experimental Voltage Regulator works on the above car. With reference to P.100 Lamps, nobody, particularly lorry drivers, take the slightest notice of the dimming as arranged, in fact on the run down with Major Bulman, no less than four lorries charged us when the lamps were in the dimmed position and in one case nearly forced us into the ditch. It would be appreciated if you could arrange to wire the lamps so that when dimmed the off side lamp is 'off' and the near side lamp 'on' and dimmed. Lp.{Mr Lappin} | ||
