With reference to your request for information in connection with the above, fitted to Mr. Royce's Car.
These designs have been modified to suit the larger type head lamps which have recently been standardised and also to provide better operation.
Owing to the urgency of more important work, this job has been held up in the D.O., but they have promised they will complete it shortly. As soon as we are satisfied with this scheme, a standardisation sheet will be issued.
