Identify Switch Panel

I have a switch panel made by The Efandem Co Ltd Wolverhampton UK. I have never seen one before and was wondering what cars they were fitted to. It incorporates a 12V dynamo cut out also. The company was taken over by Ever Ready in 1925. After the war (WW1) the companywas in a poor financial state and the Managing Director was convicted of embezzling money

Efandem moved to new works in Wolverhampton from Birmingham in 1911. One of their specialities at least until WWI was dynamo lighting outfits for motor cars, motor cycles, cycles and boats, although they seem to have applied later for a patent: 29.049: "Electric switch for lighting sets of motor, &c., .c\cles," J. Eaton and Efandem Co. October 14th 1920.

As to installers, from a 1959 Motor Magazine article by Robert Thwaites about restoration of a 1914 TURNER, car No.1250: “Electric lighting was at this time an optional extra... and is by The Efandem Co., Ltd., of Wolverhampton. The dashboard unit is a particularly beautiful piece of work, glass-fronted, with voltmeter as well as ammeter, and a very neat rotary-type switch.

Turner’s, who were also in Wolverhampton, fitted a dynamo lighting and starter set for £35 extra in 1913.
