Childs} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/MH.{M. Huckerby}24.8.39. WEIGHT OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. The two outstandingly heavy parts of the electrical equipment are the headlamps and the wiring. Headlamps. By/RD. has suggested that we submit a pair of lamps, similar to those fitted on the "Comet", to Sales with clear glass fronts. These you will remember were the original lamps which we produced for the Bentley. We should like an estimate to be prepared as to what we shall save by having the lamps in the wings as on the "Cresta". Wiring. On the "Ripplet" we should like to try the wiring system where the tubes are limited to places where they are really necessary. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
