We understand that you are in need of the scuttle damper. We ash Derby to send this if they have not already done so.

We agree to the instrument board arrangement on N.Sch.2543. being used on this car. You will be unable to fit up the controls as the dash will need modifications. These we will make at Derby.

We have asked the makers to send you a speedometer of the small size direct. The board is to be ebony andthe panel Ivorine. The board will actually be made of aluminium. It must be set at right angles to the control shaft from the dash.

We would be glad if you would do as much of the wiring as is possible. We will wire the heal-lamps in Derby.

Unless you can find a more suitable wing lamp, we wish younto fit the Chrysler type. these should have the diameter of the rear red light reduced by blacking the inside. The degree of brightness should be reduced.

Would you kindly inform us whether there are any other matters which you wish us to deal with.

Yours faithfully,

for ROLLS ROYCE LTD.

Will you kindly attend to any details which apply to yourselves
