RE HEADLAMPS IN WINGS - RIPPLET AND RIPPLETTO.

We have already produced a scheme for the head-lamps in the wings for Ripplet chassis 2.R.2. see PD.498, a print of which has been issued to Park Wards.

We now send P.L.28 showing the same lamp with an improved bezel of much reduced section, based on your request after seeing the Studebaker.

We are asking Messrs. Park Ward & Co. to produce this lamp using the interior of a Lucas L.140 headlamp.
