We send herewith N.Sch.2751. shewing the arrangement of of the instrument board for the above car. We have sent to Barkers N.Sch.2752. which shews the shape of the board and the position of all the instruments save that of the Magneto Switch and the Starter Push Button, which Instrument, Derby have to fit. We would be glad if Derby and Sales would see that Barkers are supplied with the following:- FRAMED PATCH OF INSTRUMENTS. The frame to Bakers, the centre piece containing the instruments to Derby. K.S. PETROL GAUGE. GREEN LAMP. SWITCH BOX. CONTROL HEAD ON INSTRUMENT BOARD. Boa. CONSTRICTOR HORN. BLACK. SMALL TRUMPET. WE are negotiating with Messrs Joseph Lucas to obtain P.100. head lamps with mechanically dipped reflectors for this car. A pair of special streamline wing lamps are also on their way. We have asked Barkers to supply and fit a spot light (Stephan Grebel) on the off-side screen pillar. As soon as we have settled on a screen wiper, we will inform you, so that Barkers may be supplied with one. We believe that this completes the accessory instructions for 18. EX. Those for 19. EX will follow in due course. We do not wish Sales to send any Grebel lamps for the third headlamp scheme to either the coachbuilders or Derby for use on these cars, as suggested in Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}/Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}25/ED{J. L. Edwards}1/26.10.28. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
