| To RM.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.3/JH.16.4.36. E.R. Hall's Bentley for Le Mans. We strongly recommend that this can be equipped with the new Ph.III type fuse board which provides an independent fuse for each headlamp. Otherwise a fault developing anywhere in the headlamp circuit will cause a complete "black out". This fuse board is now standard in view of the number of "black outs" experienced with the old scheme.
