X.4291 - DIMMING DEVICE FOR HEAD LAMPS.

Further to our EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 2/T11.1.21 and our conversation
yesterday on the matter, we nowagree that on the whole the
simplest way of accomplishing this, in view of the fact that
the lesser efficiency of the modification does not matter, is
to provide a single resistance operating upon both head lamps
in parallel and a short circuiting switch for this resistance.

Perhaps you would, therefore, kindly go ahead
and get out such a scheme.
