21st. February, 1940.

Messrs. Lucas Ltd.,
Great King Street,
BIRMINGHAM.19.

For the attention of Mr.F.G.Thacker.

Dear Sirs,

In September 1937 we tested one of your 5 inch dynamos which gave an output comparable with that of our own 5 inch machine.

We wondered if you could supply from stock a 5 inch machine capable of the above. We do not require any special form of drive as any of our future machines will be belt driven. We are now thinking of a suitable bought out unit for the larger class of car and would be glad to receive any details on the above.

Yours faithfully,
FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD.
