E.A.Watson Esq.,
Messrs Joseph Lucas Ltd.,
Great King Street,
BIRMINGHAM 19

Dear Mr.Watson,

Arising out of our conversation together at your Works on Friday last, I would like to confirm the following items:-

(1) You are preparing for us a further Bentley dynamo complete similar to the one already delivered to us but of a 2 pole design,

(2) You promised to let me have particulars of the various dis-advantages in the use of 24 volt coils.

(3) I should also like particulars of the new Bosch aero magneto which I understand is arranged so that current can be supplied to the Magneto windings in order to obviate the necessity of an additional booster coil or hand starting magneto for starting purposes.

(4) We should also like particulars of Beryllium copper springs for contact breakers.

Yours sincerely,
