| 5/W To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re My Car - GLG-5. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}10/E22.6.36 Copy to Crawford. I should like to have back the original horns as I like their note very much better than the new ones which you have fitted. The new ones seem to have a muzzy and tinny sound as compared with the clear note of my original ones. If the ones now fitted to my car are a fair sample of production, I should like to know because I think we must take the matter up with Lucas's as they have certainly fallen back in the results produced. Please let me know when my original horns are being sent to Lillie Hall. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
