| To Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to G/Mt. 86116. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.16/JH. 20.4.36. Headlamps for 37-EX. We have just received a pair of Lucas headlamps, which have come in reply to an order for a pair of P.100.R. type lamps for 37-EX. The lamps sent, however, are of the standard P.100 type, and therefore, wrong. Will you please have them returned, and replaced by lamps of the required type. Alternatively they could be put into standard Bentley and Phantom lll stock. We notice that some accessories, switches cable etc., have also been sent, which we do not require in any case.
