| Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wat. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wat./MA.2.6.33. Re. STOP LAMP SWITCHES ON BENSPORT CHASSIS. We have had a failure of one of these switches on the Green Bentley causing a bad short circuit to occur, which nearly resulted in a fire. We are not quite sure who manufactures the switches but we think you will know and we shall be very much obliged if you will ask their representative to visit us with a view to inspecting this switch and discussing with them obvious improvements to the same.
