RE BATTERY FOR CAR & OFFICE LIGHTING AT WEST WITERING.

With reference to lamps for West WitteringHenry Royce's home town Drawing
Of fice, we ought to get these from Edison Swan or other
makers. We asked for ½ Watt lamps, if these would stand,
say, 500 hours. We want two powers, say, about 10 and 20
c.p., they must be suitable for the small holders, and for
the 12 volt circuit.
Please order about -

20 of 20 C.P. (24 c.p. would do)
10 of 10 c.p. ( 8 c.p. would do)

You are now getting for us, the house switches (12)
the fuses for ditto., the 20 amp central zero Weston
ammeter for switch board, the dynamo switches and fuse
(2 off each).
X.979. I have written to the Tudor Company as enclosed.
You will probably need two sizes of batteries. The one
they are making will do to go one with. So many will be
spoiled by neglect that one thinks it better to use the
smallest size and replace when done for, also to fit a larger
one where this is found too small.
