R.R. & Bentley Headlamps.

Referring to your Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}6/KW.14.3.34, I think I am now in agreement that the Fog Lamp perhaps would not be wholly suitable for a dipper scheme.

What do you think to the idea of the nearside P.100 Headlamp dipping to the left and the offside lamp dipping vertically ? This would provide good side lighting as well as keeping the centre of the road well illuminated; at the same time it would help considerably when cornering.

I should like to have your views on such a scheme before treating the idea seriously.
