| To Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJL. X7800 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJL1/LG5.3.28. X1369 We have received the four special bulbs for use in the latest Lucas high power projectors. With reference to your suggestion that they should be sent to France and tested there, on the car at present carrying out a 10,000 miles test, there are reasons why this is unadvisable. Sales are taking over this car shortly, probably before the bulbs would arrive and the car is thus temporarily passing out of our hands. We suggest we keep the bulbs until the car returns to Derby, which should be in the course of the next fortnight. This will be the most satisfactory method of dealing with this matter.
