Lucas despatched to you personally on the 29th ult. a pair of P80 headlamps, each fitted with a dipping reflector, the idea being that they shall be mounted on one of the experimental Bensports. We shall be glad to hear in due course what you think of the lamps. We gather the chances are you will not make use of the P100 headlamps with dipping reflectors we sent you. If so, we would like to have them back as we cannot, for the time being, obtain further supplies from Lucas, and we could make good use of the pair sent you. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} | ||
