IMPROVEMENTS IN THE STANDARD INSTRUMENT BOARD

LIGHTING.

The D.O. has already instructed the improvements consisting of blue celluloid discs etc. for a 40/50 standard instrument patch and same is being prepared for 20-EX. Sales are anxious that this improvement should affect both patches i.e. 20/25 as well as 40/50. We should be glad, therefore, if you will instruct a scheme showing these improvements fitted to the standard 20/25 instrument patch now on chassis 19-GIV.

Sales view this improvement in instrument board lighting as very urgent in view of the "patches" now being turned out on present 20/25 production which they consider has ineffective lighting.
