Due to conflicting information between spare parts lists and Lucas
catalogue, there is a margin of uncertainty in this list.
Pictorial evidence however shows military motorcycles used the
screw fixed version dipswitches, changed to clip fixed bakelite version in
mid 1940 before being deleted all together around mid 1941. Original 16H 1 inch handlebars can be found with the screw holes in them,
for the attachment of the switch.
*1 Batteries of 12 Amp hour upto early 1940 but marked 10 Amp hour after
that.
*2
Wiring connector is shown in same Lucas catalogue under given number.
Three wiring connectors were applied on the early bikes. One in the + lead approx one foot
distance from the battery, one approx one foot from the regulator "A"
lead and one in the tail lamp lead for easing the
disconnection of the rear mudguard end piece for better access in case
of removal of the rear wheel. It is not known whether the connector in
the "A" lead was applied on all bikes over time.
