| 6H16 c. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} RC. {R. Childs} BY.5/G.3.11.37. NEW TYPE LUCAS HEADLAMPS. Referring to Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /IMW. {Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} 13/MH. {M. Huckerby} 28.10.37. I am satisfied as a result of trying out the lamps in question on Friday night, that there is a need for greater "spreading" of the light to eliminate the existing blind area on sharp bends. I want BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /RD. to take up the above point, and also the others mentioned in your memo with Messrs. Lucas, and to insist upon the points being met by modification to design. By BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
