need be considered as it is never used.

Regarding the lamps. We note from DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/M11.12.26 that Barkers are to fit these. Do you particularly wish them to do the work ? We could fix them up with suitably machined old type sockets on the front cross member if you would let us have N.Sch.2252 & 2307. We have the lamps.
We are arranging to fit either a King Seely or O.S. petrol gauge to the car. We have already tested the former. We should like to fit an engine rev. counter. Have W.W. any views on the drive ?
