Honeyman - Retail orders}14/I/31.3.33. We note that you are sending up to us an experimental pair of P.100 lamps, with dipping reflectors, when the next Bentley body is collected. With regard to P.80 lamps, we understand from Lucas' Mr.Thacker who was here recently that they are hoping to complete this type of lamp before Easter. Possibly by now you are aware of this. We propose to keep the lamps supplied with the open body although we do not expect them to be satisfactory. If, by the time, we have mounted the body you have managed to obtain something better, then we will return them to Lillie Hall. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} | ||
