| 1245. W/P - Mr. Punt. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}14/JH.17.8.38. When over in France the writer saw some very good wind lamps of the type we require, on a Talbot. They were placed well forward on the nose of the wing, approx. 4 1/2" long and 1 1/2" in dia. at the nose of the lamp, tapering down to a point at the rear. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} would like you to obtain a pair of these lamps for use on an exptl. car, do you think this is possible?
