[TR] light switch TR3B

[Frank Fisher]

John
you always jolt my memory with stuff like this.
I remember my dad had a
railway kerosene lamp that he would light each night and take outside and hang
off the gutter of the old 32 Ford Y type.
and one more for the privy at the
end of the yard. not to keep one bum warm, but to keep the temperature above
freezing during the winter. else suffer the broken pipes.

Does anyone know? 
Lighting regs for many European countries required a car
parked at night in a
street to display lights to front and rear. Slowly, this
has been abandoned
except possibly in Germany where the indicator switch
leaves lights on on
whichever side they're needed. If your market did not
require this piece of
equipment, you still got it because the cost of having
different wiring
harnesses/light switches / whatever were saved.
