Carrus Fog Lamps

E.1/AF.29.12.34 - Reverting to the above, although, admittedly, the design of this Fog Lamp is of German origin, the lamp has been manufactured in this country for some 5 months at the Islington works of Messrs. Carrus, and all the material in same is of British origin with the exception of the bulb which at present is a German bulb marketed under the name Neron. The Carrus people in this country are experimenting with British bulbs, but at present the tests have not justified their use.

The materials used in the lamp itself are supplied as under:

Reflector & Casing ... Messrs. S.G.Swayne
Goodmayes, Essex

Front Glass ......... Messrs. Geo. Davidson & Co.
Teams Glass Works,
Gateshead-on-Tyne

Cork Rings ......... Messrs. Armstrong Cork Co.Ltd
Aldwych, London W.C.2

Armoured Cable ...... Messrs. Ward & Goldstone,
Frederick Road, Pendleton,
Manchester 6.

and Messrs. Rinhams, Ltd
Ramond Works, Victoria Rd,
London N.W.10

Switches ........... Messrs. James Neale & Sons Ltd
Graham Street, Birmingham

and I am asking the Carrus Company to advise the terms under which they would supply, should we standardise same.
