20-G-4. Headlamps.
We are sending you a pair of P.30 lamps with Lucas/Graves dippers. We would like these to be used on taller headlamp brackets so as to create an appearance more like the front view of the 40/50.
We think the brackets should be raised by lengthening the tube. We have sent By. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} a sketch shewing the lamps on Saturday last. We are proposing this modification as standard at some subsequent date.
