Vickers light tank rear lamps

[George Moore]

Thanks Richard,

It was only through the fact I bought this book on Light tanks, that I saw the reference for the first time, in my iggerrance I had always thought they were both red.

Station keeping was one idea I had, similar the ther German Notek system, if you see the different lenses, you were too close.

Didn't seem right though, the same applies (I think) to the vertical black/white stripes on the vehicles.

Was blue less visible at night?

The wiring diagrams show that neither appear to be connected to the brake pedal either, though on earlier models, the feed is connected to the horn button !

The bulbs do not appear to be twin fillament, so there does not seem to be a brake light.

Strange !

I have a load of interior photos on file myself, the book does however illustrate both the early RR engine fitted to the early Mks, and the Meadows engine fitted to the MkIV onwards.
I could still do with some engine bay photos, ideally, a look at the gearbox/drive. The drawings are only outlines.

Appreciate the response.

George.
