We are afraid we rather misunderstood your first letter, otherwise we could have told you immediately that we do not, under any circumstances, make such a fitting, as it is unnecessary with our particular type of instrument. Yours faithfully, PHILIPS LAMPS LIMITED. [Signature] CAR RADIO DEPARTMENT. P.S. We still think it would be advisable for you to let us have wiring diagrams of your vehicles, for the files of our technical people. Could you please arrange to let us have something for them to consult when cases of this sort arise. [Initials] All quotations and orders are subject to our confirmation and will be executed at the price ruling at the date of delivery.
