Alternative Modification for Quieter operation of Horn Button.
R.R. Sch.929 with ebonite horn button switch has been in operation on 33-EX for the last 2,650 miles.
We are quite satisfied with the degree of silence obtained with this scheme; also we are of the opinion that the black ebonite finish is more in keeping with the R.R. standard.
