HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG21.9.23.

Referring to your BJ3/DN19.9.23 attached.

The only set of dipping head lamps of RR. design fitted to the 20 HP. is fitted to 4-Goshawk-11 car which is at present with R.{Sir Henry Royce} at WW.

R.{Sir Henry Royce} is not satisfied with the arrangement as fitted to that car. Also, owing to the standardisation of the larger lamp, a number of pieces will need modifying.

When we have a set built up with the latest modifications we will send the car to Conduit Street for Sales Officials to criticise.
