Re New Type Headlamps.

Dear Sirs,

The last pair of headlamps received from you are now being tested on the road on a Bentley chassis and we note that the reflectors in the near side lamp, is constantly flickering, suggesting that the retaining spring is not strong enough.

Would you please send us a stronger spring which can be fitted to this lamp for trial.

We are anxiously awaiting further lamps which you promised to supply to us in the near future.

Yours faithfully,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD.
