| To BY/CGH.{W Clough} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} X4555 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/LG3.4.29 With reference to the attached letter from Mann Egerton Ltd. dated 25th.ult. We personally have not found the Lucas dipping reflectors head lamps to be a very reliable piece of mechanism, but as they apparently work on other cars, there does not seem to be any reason why they should not be made to work on R-R cars. There is no difficulty whatever in fitting them. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
