| X4555 SECRET To CJ. BJ. FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} R1/M20.6.24. E.A.C.11. RE. DIPPING HEAD LIGHTS. X.4555. We are about to consider the design of head lamps for EAC.2. and would like to know what are your present views on the subject of dazzle, and whether you wish to dip or dim the lights. We have designed and experimented with a scheme for dipping the head lamps on Goshawk and we prefer this scheme to any other, on the grounds of its lightness, cheapness, and better mechanics, together with light and facile operation. If you wish to have dipping head lights on EAC.2. we propose to fashion them on Goshawk lines. R.{Sir Henry Royce} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
