EXPERIMENTAL DESIGNS.

As requested in DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 1/M.14.5.27. we send you herewith the following blueprints in connection with dipping headlamps for the 20 HP. and 40/50 HP. chassis:-

N: Sch. 1455 Controls for 20 HP. Dipping Headlamps.
F.52789 Arrangement " "
N. Sch.1355 Controls on dash " "
LF.655 showing revised position of lamp plug brackets, to clear dipping lamp controls on 7-EX. and 8-EX.
LF.599 Arrangement of controls as applied to 7-EX.
LF.651 Revised controls on column for 8-EX.

In connection with the latter scheme, we believe that 7-EX. was fitted with the controls shown on N. Sch.1855, but LF.651 was prepared as an alternative in order to get the hand lever in a more suitable position in relation to the instrument board.
