We regret to say we have been unable to find room on the instrument board for the master switch light. This light was originally fitted by Park Wards in the centre of two columns of push-pull switches. However, when we came to fit the switch box it was found that there was insufficient room for both at this point. The light would not be of much use for seeing the names on the switches if fitted at any point on the scuttle rail, and as a matter of interest we do not know where we could get it in on the scuttle rail without fouling some gauge.
