X.4555 X.1357 We send herewith N.sch.2490 shewing the large Lucas headlamp mounted for dipping. Particulars of the control will follow later. In the meanwhile we should be glad if Derby would make a drawing of the lamp with the trunnion fittings and ball end bracket in place, to send to Messrs. Lucas & Co. Ltd., in conjunction with an addl official order for two sets of lamps embodying as many as possible of the improvements we have asked for in our letters of the 22nd. inst. It will be realised that these lamps will be required in the course of a few weeks, and therefore the instruction should be pushed as fast as possible. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
