BMC Service Bulletins

I got hold of some nice BMC literature, consisting of +200 service bulletins covering 1962 to 1964, most of them relate to Mini and ADO16 cars, they contain very nice information there. I plan to scan them once we go out of "lockdown" and if there is interest/it is possible, Mark can add to the technical section.
Meanwhile if anyone is looking for some particular information among these 3 years i can search and send pics.
Have also some BMC service bulletins from late 60, early 70's but in Portuguese , maybe not so easy for most members.
Oh, i have one question... what "GN" stands for when identifying the Service Bulletins ?

To complete the BMC specification of the reversing light facility here's the engineering drawing for the Lucas switch part 34887 (also known by other part numbers).
