Dear Sirs, We regret to have to inform you that we find a mistake has been made in our finishing Department, in so far as they sprayed the back of the strengthening plate in the bottom of the lamp shell, of the new headlamps now on test. This may cause a resistance and a bad earth and we have accordingly forwarded you under separate cover a pair of new shells specially adapted, from which we expect you will get better results. Please return the other shells as soon as you are in possession of the new ones. Assuring you always of our most careful attention. We beg to remain, Dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, NOTEK ELECTRIC COMPANY LIMITED. [Signature] C. Casper. C.A.P. Please arrange. | ||
