| WS S/W. (Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst) WST 6116. Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}32/I/6-12-33. BENTLEY HEADLAMPS. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} tells me that you have come to an arrangement with Lucas, as a result of which they will change the lenses and reflectors of headlamps already supplied for Bentley chassis for others which are supposed to be more efficient. Will you please let me know who has the matter in hand at Lucas' so I can keep in touch with him with a view to changing all the lamps on cars already in commission. We are, of course, leaving it to you to deal with any headlamps which may be in stock at W. I think you may find that ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} has ordered some for production chassis and they may have been delivered. Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} | ||
