RADIO DEPARTMENT Rolls-Royce, Ltd., D E R B Y. 5th August, 1936. Dear Sirs, We have to thank you for your letter of the 4th inst., and in reply would inform you that none of our fitting stations ever change the type of H.T. wire as fitted to Rolls, or Bentley, Cars and neither do our instructions for fitting give any such recommendations. We can only presume, therefore, that an over-enthusiastic fitter is responsible, since there is absolutely no necessity for screened H.T. leads in the fitting of the PHILIPS Set. Yours faithfully, PHILIPS LAMPS LIMITED. [Signature] R.E.Gale. Car Radio Department.
