Dear Sirs,

RE MR. ROYCE'S LIGHTING INSTALLATION.
------------------------------------

We are asking our Order Office to send you an official order for -

(1) One dozen round porcelain cut-outs, one of which we have already received as a sample.

(2) Two Ediswan quick-break switches, one of which we have already received as a sample.

You will note that Mr. Royce has approved of the Ediswan quick-break switch and, therefore, when you receive the official order from our Order Office, we shall expect to receive from you one of these, together with 11 of the small round cut-outs.

We shall be returning the small knife switch to you, also the long rectangular type of cut-out which we thought Mr. Royce might like for his main switchboard, but which he has returned and not approved. He would like to have for this purpose, two cut-outs of the round type similar to, but larger than the small ones. I think I understood from you


[Text at bottom, upside down]: H.R. 235a (500 T) (S.D. 408. 28-4-17.) Dm.{D. Munro} 2/155/13.
