Replying to your letter of the 19th inst., we are sorry that some misunderstanding has arisen about the P.100 Headlamps we sent to illustrate the advance in design which had taken place since the lamps you originally sent to us were made. The whole of these improvements had until a few days ago been incorporated in the double bulb type of lamp only and it was for this reason that we sent a pair of these lamps to you. In response to your telephone message we are putting in hand immediately, a pair of single bulb lamps and these will be sent on to you without delay. Yours faithfully, P.P. JOSEPH LUCAS LIMITED, | ||
