Re: LUCAS "MELLOTONE" ELECTRIC HORNS. With reference to Sr/VA16/ET.2.2.38. We note the various points you mention causing the failure of this type of horn. We are having a very thorough investigation into the lack of reliability at Messrs. Lucas, and it is hoped that modifications will be introduced to overcome these various weak-points. BY/RD. | ||
