| - 2 - for a head lamp. It would appear worth our while look- ing to see that we are not paying too much for lamps. As regards 'Staybrite' (or stainless iron as it is called here) it is not gaining ground, 'Ford' is using them and there was a tendency to change over, but they now claim that with the improvements made in chromium plating it is not necessary. 'Staybrite' is much more difficult to work and the lamp must be designed to suit it. (Sgd) Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
