 | Here for reference, is a British Army Land Rover Lucas switch. CONV. is a small focused lamp with a tight beam that points forwards from under the front of the vehicle. In a convoy, the vehicle in front of you has a small white disc painted low down on the back, and you drove very close to it, keeping your light on the white disc ahead, and sometimes that was all the light you had at night! You hoped to hell that the lead vehicle could see where he was leading you all! The many switch positions, allowed for just about any needed combination of lighting. Clockwise, these are, Headlamp + Side lights + Tail light, Side lights + Tail lamp, Tail only, OFF, Convoy lamp, Convoy lamp + Side lights.
