| DY.{F R Danby} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to BJ. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} CENTRALISED CHASSIS LUBRICATION - DIPPING HEADLAMP CONTROLS. We did not send you a sch. from here for applying the lubrication to the dipping controls, and when we saw the car last week we did not care very much for the arrangement with a coil. We have been trying as far as possible to avoid the use of coils. We accordingly send you herewith N. sch. 2582. shewing two alternatives for dealing with this shaft, and suggest that the very simple one marked fig. 1., which only requires one new special bush, and only one drip plug, could be applied to the next set of dipping lamps.
