Messrs.Park Ward & Co.Ltd., 473, High Road, Willesden, London N.W.10. Dear Sirs, Re: Tail Lamps - Experimental Cars. You will have noticed that on recent B.5. and B.50 bodies we have shewn twin stop and tail lamps mounted on the rear wings. We are in the process of obtaining such lamps from various sources, and we would like particulars of the rear end of the wings in question, in order to settle on a common foot to the lamp pedestal. Would you please send us a full size tracing of the rear half of the back wings of B.5. and B.50. in side elevation, and sections of each through the lamp base. The B.5. used should be 10.B.5. and the B.50, the body for the mock-up. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. W Harvey Bailey CHIEF ENGINEER - CHASSIS. | ||
