| YU4449 Extract from RJA2/C.4.1.29. (X.7780.) SPOT LIGHT ON 18-EX. (IN FRANCE) This was giving trouble by sometimes failing to remain alight. The fault appears to have been that the fore part of the car body was not properly earthed to the chassis. A wire has been inserted under some of the aluminium beading and connected to a nearby frame unit nut. This appears to have rectified the trouble. | ||
