Rolls-Royce Limited, DERBY. [Handwritten left margin: INDEX Lucas letter re dipper parts wanted for West WitteringHenry Royce's home town Job Mr Hives] Dear Sirs, For the Attention of Mr.Hives. With further reference to the pair of Head Lamps which we are making up to be fitted to the car which you are shortly sending down to West WitteringHenry Royce's home town. Our lamps are now ready awaiting the special parts which you are making up to render them suitable for your special dipping device. We are writing separately to Mr.Bailey's Department enquiring when we may expect delivery of these small parts, but we would like to ask you how much longer you can give us before it is essential that these lamps are delivered to be in time for fitting to the car which you are sending down to West WitteringHenry Royce's home town. At the time of our representative's visit three weeks was mentioned. This time has now expired and we are hoping that as we have not yet received the special pieces from you, you can give us a little time before it is essential that the lamps are submitted to you. Awaiting the favour of your reply, We are, Yours faithfully, JOSEPH LUCAS LIMITED, ELECTRICAL DEPARTMENT. hCHolmes PP JM.{Mr Morley} | ||
