HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RECEIVED STAMP: OCT 7 1926 Messrs Sheffield-Simplex Ltd. Canbury Park Road, KINGSTON-ON-THAMES. FOR ATTENTION OF MR. ABELL. Dear Sirs, Our Sales Dept. (Lord Herbert Scott) have handed to us particulars of the Sheffield-Simplex dipping lamps for our comments. We think that the best way for us to arrive at a true and just conclusion would be for us to fit a set to one of our experimental cars. We therefore would be glad if you would send us a set of lamps, with controls suitable for fitting to a Phantom car. These should be despatched to Rolls-Royce Ltd. Derby, for the attention of Mr. Hives. We enclose herewith a sketch shewing the dimensions of the lamp sockets on the front cross member, and we will instruct our Works to send you a pair of paper shanks. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} TO HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Will you please forward a set of paper shanks to Sheffield-Simplex Ltd? | ||
