| r6076. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.7/MA.28.11.34. LUCAS COMBINED STOP AND TAIL LAMP. We consider the fitting of this larger wattage bulb to be a distinct improvement and a considerable advance over other stop and tail lamps for daylight operation. We do not consider that the consumption of current is of any serious import and owing to its intermittent operation is by no means a justification to the coach-builders for the fitting of more powerful bulbs in their built in number plates. You will notice that the lamp is specially designed to take this larger wattage bulb in view of the improved light obtained for daylight running. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
