| C. De. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} By/RD. 804 CONFIDENTIAL. 16th. November 1938. BY.5/N. Messrs. Park Ward & Co.Ltd., 473, High Road, Willesden, London N.W.10. Dear Sirs, Re: 2.B.50. We are sending you under separate cover a screen mirror in which is included an electric clock with internal illumination, and we would be glad if you would fit this to chassis 2.B.50 as already instructed in the specification. It will be necessary to take two wires from the instrument along the screen, leaving sufficient length for them to be coupled to the electrical connections on the dashboard. The visors will need to be arranged so that the mirror and clock are never obscured. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED.
