Now that the higher radiator is being used, the head lamps will need to go up also and therefore we send herewith new details of supports to carry the lamps in the new position:- F.55775 - Head Lamp Support Tube. F.55776 - Brazing Assembly - Head Lamp Tube. F.55777 - Bracket for Head Lamp Tube. Will you please put 3 sets in hand, 1 for R's car and the other two for the two India 3s you are going to build, a new L.O.P. will shortly be issued to cover this section. Will Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} please note the following extract from Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}2/M/9.7.28. - "We note you are instructing these special brackets for R's car and for the two India 3 chassis which the Experimental Dept. are building and R's car should therefore form a very good means of judging the appearance and as it is quite possible that it will be some time before "S" see the car, and as we understand from BY7/G.12.6.28 that these brackets could be introduced on the second half of "N" Series, we should be glad if you could arrange with Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} specially to take a front view of this car with the lamps on, so that we can judge of the appearance."
