Dear Sirs, We confirm having requested you over the telephone to arrange for the return of the special sample 160 Size Headlamp discussed by Mr. Dodd and our Mr. Thacker last week. We will make arrangements for the building up of three more of these lamps in order to make two complete pairs but as already stated, we require the sample lamp, which we will keep for only a couple of days, before returning it to you. We sent under separate cover yesterday a few feet of special 5 core M.C.H. Cable built up of three lengths of 14-012 and two lengths of 28-012, you will note that the outside diameter of this Cable is .355. We attach a copy of Laboratory Specification for this Cable. Yours faithfully, JOSEPH LUCAS LIMITED. Technical Sales Department. | ||
