Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.1/MA.27.3.35. P.100 HEADLAMPS. Replying to your Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}1/KW.26.3.35., the failure of the above lamps due to the flexible connection breaking was dealt with some time ago and cured by insisting upon Messrs.Lucas adopting a scheme of wiring we suggested to them on the lines of a sample unit made up in the Experimental Dept. They now use our cable inside the lamp and since this modification we have not had any further cases of failure reported to us. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
