Re Chassis No. B.47.CW.

This car has been sold to a customer by J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Barclay and he has ordered a Model 700 Philco wireless set to be fitted. This, as you are no doubt aware, is a 6 volt set which necessitates fitting a resistance.

I have told Messrs. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Barclay that we do not care for a resistance in the set, but they inform me that the customer insists on having this set.

Would you please let me have your remarks by return.

J.L.E.
