| 6135 To Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs} BY/RD.6/B.19.4.39. IGNITION AND FUEL WARNING LIGHTS. We hand you herewith 1 each of the above, made by Messrs. S. Smith & Sons 'MA' Ltd. Will you please examine and test these and say if in your opinion, they are equally satisfactory for production as the Lucas lights which have previously been instructed. We note that the ignition warning light has been supplied with a 12 v.{VIENNA} bulb, but this apparently, is an error. BY/RD. | ||
