| -2- Contd. of the type shown in the second sketch, which are very convenient insulators for flex. Presumably, it will be quite easy to get the necessary lamps, holders, and switches, but what I have found a difficulty in getting for miniature fittings, as I suppose the holders would be, is suitable shades. It would not be difficult, however, to find some sort of substitute. It do not know of any type of adjustable pendant specially suitable for these miniature lamps. Would not the crude way of having the long flex and tying it up into loops be good enough for your purpose ? Returning to the question of lamps, I think it may be possible to get the high efficiency half watt lamps, taking one ampere at 12 volts and giving 24 candle power, but I will make enquiries. Do I understand that you would like me to collect the whole of the material for this installation together, and then forward it ?. Would you also say whether I shall have this material charged to the firm. EFC. | ||
