| -2- Cxll/KW21.2.35. a further month for introduction, i.e. four months from date of instructions in stead of the three required only for the larger trip figures. Would you also please state whether it is understood that in respect of concave lighting all instruments inside the panel will have concave dials ? We presume of course that this is the case but we have not yet heard it definitely. Of course this is dependent upon our approving this lighting scheme, which we in London have not yet seen. How soon could we have a sample panel, or a car with this lighting scheme on to look and approve ? Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} Reub | ||
