Abstract

The lighting system consists of three light projecting sources mounted on the vehicle body, to illuminate in three directions. The second position is lowered relative to the first and the third still lower. The control consists of a single throw double pole switch connected to a two way switch. These switches can be opened selectively. The switches have three contacts. The lamp assembly has a reflector and two sets of filaments, one for each direction of light projection. The third direction of projection is given by a single filament lamp.
