Dear Sir, We have not replied previously to your letter of the 27th December in view of the conversations which you have had with the writer in regard to the X166, Lamps, in which we made it clear that we would much prefer to concentrate our efforts in supplying a completely re-designed Lamp than effecting the changeover in two stages. We understand that if we can give you deliveries in three weeks time, this will be acceptable to you and we shall be in a position to advise you in the course of the next day or two on this point. Yours faithfully, JOSEPH LUCAS LIMITED. [Signature] | ||
