RE HEADLAMPS. X.8800 X.1457 X.1369

In view of the desire to obtain a more efficient headlamp, we are authroised by R.{Sir Henry Royce} to obtain a pair of Carl Zeiss lamps, Zesap 250., nickel plated finish, code word "Autvadsire".

We wish these to be supplied with the control for operating the anti-glare device - code word "Autvadwyke" and 12 volt 35 watt special filament lamps, with silvered belt, preferably for single pole contact, although if this is not available we can use the double pole.

It is proposed to fit these lamps to 10-EX, Phantom-Barker sports car. They are supplied by Messrs. J.W. Atha & Co. Wensley House, Wells St,m Oxford St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} W.l. and should be addressed to RR. "CamachaHenry Royce's office in West Wittering", West WitteringHenry Royce's home town.
