| -2- asked to camouflage. The second query concerns the headlights. We have been sent a pair of E5/IR Lamps, which have fixings which will necessitate the use of short brackets, as they are unsuitable for mounting directly on to the front wings. We are perfectly willing to make up a suitable pair of brackets but think that you may not care for them, as even shortened brackets are not in keeping with modern ideas. The alternative would be to fit a pair of the large Lucas P.100 Type of Lamps, the standard fixings of which would permit us to mount the lamps directly on to the Wings. Yours faithfully, for PARK WARD & CO LIMITED., (C.W. Ward Junr) Enc. | ||
