so
that

their
beams
straight
ahead,
i.e.
parallel
with
the
road and
with each
other.
The
simplest
way of checking
the
adjustment
of
the lamps
is.to
'take
the caf on
a stiaight
level stretch
of
road at
night
and examine
the
direction
of
the beams.
If one
appears
to
be out
of adjustment,
adjust
as
follows:-
Remove
the rim securing screw
at
the
bottom
of
the lamp
and lift
off
the rim and dust-excluding
rubber.
Vertical
adjustment_
is made
Py
op.ttting
the screw
(6,

screwtng
tn
rarses the beam,
and screwing
out
lowers
the beam.
Horizontal
adjustment is
made by operating
the
screw
