3. Instrument Board Lamp. I notice you specify a 16-18 volt 3 watt lamp. I don't know whether this extra voltage lamp is available over here. For replacements we would propose to use a 12-16 double contact, 3 candlepower bulb, and the same for the Thermometer lamp when fitted.

Our list of lamp bulbs would thus boil down to:

1. Headlamps - 12-16 v. {VIENNA} - 21-32 double filament, gas filled bulb, Westinghouse Mazda # . Our No. M-1733.

2. Sidelamps - 12-16 v. {VIENNA} - 3 c.p. single contact base, Westinghouse Mazda #67. Our No. A-12588.

3. Rear lamps-
Tail Light - 12-16 v. {VIENNA} - 3 c.p. - single contact base, Westinghouse #67. Our No. A-12588.
Stop Light - 12-16 v. {VIENNA} - 21 c.p. - single contact base, Westinghouse #1141. Our No. M-1088.
Backing Light - 12-16 v. {VIENNA} - 21 c.p. - single contact base, Westinghouse #1141. Our No. M-1088.

4. Instrument and Thermometer. - 12-16 v. {VIENNA} - 3 c.p. double contact base, Westinghouse Mazda #68. Our No. M-1084.

Yours very truly,
