Dear Mr.West, I have your letter of April 26th and I will get in touch with Mr.Evans with a view to seeing his improved type of cornering headlamps. When he was last here his scheme necessitated the use of an additional pair of headlamps and we thought that the cost of such an arrangement would be out of all proportion to the benefits which would be derived from it, but obviously, if his new scheme is of interest to you, we will investigate it very carefully with the least possible delay. With kind regards, Yours sincerely, R.L. Neill. | ||
