Series 50-70
1949 S
eri es
50-70
are
provided with com-
bination tail, stop and dircetion signal lamps
mounted on each rear fender. Each lamp con-
tains one 21-3 CP lamp bulb, which may be re-
placed by removing the lamp door and lens
assembly which is attached by 3 captive screws.
See figure 106. The pins on bulb and slots in
socket are offset to prevent reversing position
of 21 CP and 3 CP filaments when installing a
new bulb.
When the lighting switch is in either the
"Parking" or "Driving" position, the 3 CP fila-
ments in both lamp bulbs burn to provide tail
lights. This circuit is protected by the thermo
circuit breaker on light switch.
When the brakes are applied, the 21 CP
fila-
ment in both lamp bu
lbs
burn to provide stop
light s. When t
he
direction signal switch is
operated, the 21 CP filam
ent
flashes on and off
in the lamp on the
side
of car for which a turn
is indicated.
The
21 CP filament in the opposite
lamp burns
steadily
if brakes are applied at
same time, or remains out if brakes are not ap-
plied.
The stop and signal light circuits are inde-
pendent
of the lighting switch and are pro-
tected by a fuse on the fuse
block
under the
cowl.
