Hi Lynn and Richard,
Yep, I guess you're right on this, modern thinking.
My first ever car was a 1939 MG TB, at the tender age of 22, during my apprenticeship, I stripped and rebuilt, though it wasn't in a bad state, but had failed the MOT, which had only recently been introduced into the UK, [yes; it was that long ago] !!
I recall there was only one brake light "offside" and the headlamps wired when on dip, the nearside cancelled the offside went to a lower fillament.
I digress.
Having read the book, and the electrical section, there is no explanation as to the purpose, just that they were fitted.
I guess there's an answer out there somewhere.
George.
