| HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} X5800. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}6/M28.11.31. (X5800 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.
