We think there was some mistake with regard to standard headlamp brackets being fitted to this car. The parts fitted were to EX.16233/4/5. This is a cross member between the headlamps, and was considered necessary to prevent these falling off during the race. It constitutes a definite improvement to the car, so we do not think Mr. Hall should object to paying for it. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
