103a To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG. c. to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH. Myth Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}4/JH.12.11.40. elect 6116. 104 re Headlamps and Passlamps. Myth Chassis. On PL.404, the original of which we attach to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH's. copy of this memo. we show a projected design for the headlamps and passlamps which we are proposing for the Myth. This drawing has been made to record the shape of the lamps which has been chosen and will serve for the model makers. At the same time it will be useful for sending to Messrs. Lucas Ltd. in order that they may consider the manufacture of such lamps. It will be noted that we have assumed a fixed outer shell, focusing being done by 3 spring loaded screws, forming a reflector adjustment. We also assume that after this War, lamps with a cut-off beam will be made obligatory by Law in which case there will be no need for dipping reflectors.
