Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/JH.14.3.40. re Fuse for Circuit of Tail Lamp B.V. and Senior Range. We have been requested in Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs}1/MH.{M. Huckerby}8.3.40. to reduce the fuse of the circuit in which is wired the tail lamp from 28 S.W.G. tinned copper wire to 30 S.W.G. tinned copper wire. This should be done for B.V. and all cars of the Senior Range, and is requested because experience has shewn that a dead short at the tail lamp will not blow a 30 S.W.G. copper fuse. Will you please instruct the alteration. 28 swg. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
