Cox - Advertising Manager}5/KW.10.4.35., to hand this morning. Regarding the last paragraph presumably you will not agree to "a simple push pull switch" but only one of an approved pattern. We consider any fitting connected with headlamps is very important in view of 'black outs' and requires careful consideration before standardization. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
