| V4449 To CWB. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG11.6.28. 8-EX CAR. GREBEL SPOT LIGHT. X1357 With reference to CWB1/GM8.6.28. The spot light fitted to the above car has no other designation than "Stephen Grebel, Paris" - there is no type or number on it. The dia. of the glass is 4.060" - largest dia. of lamp 5.5". We believe it is the only type of spot light manufactured by this firm. We do not know of any English concern that markets this lamp. Brown Bros., Great Eastern Street, although they do not list the lamp, are the most likely people to apply to; they could probably obtain one. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
