CHASSIS 11.B.V.

HEADLAMPS. SECTION 8280.

We wish to try out on 11.B.V., B.T.H. double filament bulbs, with two stages of anti-dazzle.

(1) Main driving light "U" shaped filament.

(2) Anti-dazzle "V" shaped filament.

(3) Additional anti-dazzle "V" shaped filament with vertical dipped reflectors.

It will be necessary to put some temporary wiring on the car, and I have handed to HPS {Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} /TT. the parts loaned to us by Lucas to enable double dipping reflectors with double filament bulbs to be tried.
