We should like to fit this either to Mr. Northey's car but in case this is not convenient we suggest it might be fitted to Mr. Hanbury's car. We should also like to fit to either od these cars a Smith dynamo. Will you please let us know what suggestions you have to make as regards getting these parts fitted to cars used in London so that we can get Sales Depts& criticisms before standardisatinn.
