| W/s. To Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} X204 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}1/AP.19.11.36. LUCAS WINDSCREEN WIPERS. With reference to your memo Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}25/MD½16.9.36. when you asked us to give an opinion on the above. We have found the Lucas wiper much quieter than the Klaxon, by this we mean the driver, the respective motors being on the engine side of the dashboard there is little to choose in these. We propose ordering two more sets of Lucas wipers to change over with the noisy Klaxon type. As regards life, we will keep you informed as time goes on.
