Dear Sirs,

We thank you for the twin filament headlamp bulbs which you have submitted for our test. Unfortunately these bulbs will not fit our headlamps, which have lamp holders of the continental dimensions.

We are therefore returning the bulbs, together with one of our adaptor holders, under separate cover, so that you may either provide suitable bulbs, or suggest a suitable adaptors in which case, we shall be pleased to carry out tests on the road.

- Yours faithfully,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD.
