An all-round lighting system introduced by Joseph Lucas is described as a significant advance in safety; it ensures that the vehicle can be seen in all conditions and from all angles and is designed to reduce hazards on fogbound motorways and in high-density fast-moving traffic in towns and cities.
Five Lucas trucks have been fitted with the system which incorporates extra equipment valued at about 100 in addition to the normal vehicle lights. High-powered spot and foglamps are installed at the front and two additional side-marker lamps are mounted on the top corners of the cab.
Side-marker lamps, repeater flashers and amber reflectors are located at intervals along the side of the body so that the vehicle's movements can be observed even when being overtaken in heavy traffic. This eliminates the normal blind spots, which at night or in foggy conditions may lead to misjudgments of a vehicle position.
Incorporated in the rear lamps are reverse lamps which work in conjunction with a flashing reverse sign and intermittent horn, leaving pedestrians and other drivers in no doubt as to vehicle intentions.
Fog rearguard lamps are fitted and it is noted by Lucas that lamps of this size are increasingly being accepted as standard equipment. A hazard warning device enables all flasher indi-cators to work simultaneously in the event of a breakdown.
