Thanks for E.6/HP.20.12.35. I was of course aware that the matter I wrote about had been dealt with for P.III.

With regard to the 20/25 and Bentley I should be interested to hear which of the two schemes you decide to adopt, and then I am anxious to know how soon it can be got on production.

I note you say that you have a small separate fusebox, which we could use, about 3" long by 2" wide. I find that on my car they used a little round fusebox which is made by Bosch (from which the name 'Bosch' was removed) and it is fitted in a fairly convenient place on the dashboard with the two separate fuses in it
