IN response to many requests from lorry owners who, for various reasons, require standing lights, the Viihers Engineering Co., Ltd., has produced an entirely new lighting set which incorporates a small six-volt direct-current generator, a six-volt accumulator, and an automatic cut-out. The dynamo, which is capable of producing about 4 amps. at 2,000 r.p.m., is driven by a
V-belt and is connected by a single cable to the switchboard unit. The latter is intended for mounting on the dashboard of a lorry and it carries not only the switch, ammeter and fuse, but also the junction box
and a six-volt 10-ampere-hour accumulator. As a result, the wiring is very greatly simplified and all those parts which are liable to require any attention are under the driver's eye. A.-further indication of the care which has been taken in designing this set is that all tile terminals are of the spring-loaded Variety and each terminal is plainly marked. The. set, which includes the dynamo, switchboard complete 'with accumulator, two 6-in. headlamps and a rear lamp, is priced at .10 guineas. An alternative set with 9-in. headlamps will also be available, but its price has not yet been fixed. The wiring diagram below is reproduced from The Motor Trader.
