| X4152 Expl: Dept: Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJL1/LG. 7th. Sept. 1927. Messrs. Parkers, Coachbuilders, Olaf St.{Capt. P. R. Strong}, Shepherds Bush, London W. Dear Sirs, We are returning to you under separate cover today the rear number plate supplied to us for 10-EX car (CH.5877). The number plate is unsuitable for the car and not in accordance with our order. We particularly specified transparent celluloid, as the plate is internally illuminated. We should be obliged therefore if you would supply a number plate to the dimensions given in our previous order made of flat transparent white celluloid, the actual figures being left the natural colour of the celluloid, and the background painted black. Your earliest attention to this matter will greatly be appreciated. Yours faithfully, | ||
