| ORIGINAL DY.{F R Danby} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} SECRET. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}5/M26.2.29. C. to SS.{S. Smith} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} =SS{S. Smith}= REAR NUMBER PLATE & TAIL LAMP. X4152 X5800 X2800 Herewith we send N. sch. 2844. shewing the proposed method of carrying the tail lamp with the hinged number plate. We have shewn bolted on brackets for carrying the number plate as we believe this is what you are using. If so no alteration is required to existing pieces. The scheme is drawn for India but the same pieces are used on SS.{S. Smith} The tail lamp is Lucas A.T.200. except that we should like two windows as on the C.A.V., and for the finish to be arranged for both black and polished. For the moment it will be possible to use the C.A.V. polished lamp. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
