March 1939. BY.4/N. Messrs. Park Ward & Co. Ltd., 473, High Road, Willesden, London N.W.10. Attention of Mr. Ward. Dear Sir, Re: Chassis 10.B.5. We wish to have the instrument board on the above car illuminated similar to 8.B.5. Please receive herewith a blueprint of DB.{Donald Bastow - Suspensions}2278 - Arrgt. of Instrument Board Lighting, shewing the position of the lights in the screen scuttle rail. We hope Mr. Honeyman can supply you with two MRL. instrument lamps. It is not necessary for you to wire the lamps up, as we wish to insert a rheostat in the circuit when the car arrives at Derby. Yours faithfully FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. W Harvey Bailey CHIEF ENGINEER - CHASSIS. | ||
