| X8800 To DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/LG22.4.29. LAMPS. X7800 We still seem to be inclined to overlap with London in getting lamps for the cars. Will you please let us have a specification of the lamps for each chassis as soon as the body is put on order and a copy of any memo. to Sales which you send on this subject so that we can avoid duplicating orders for lamps. We cannot recollect having received information about the lamps for 16-G4. We were recently rather distressed to find over 30 lamps in our Stores of obsolete pattern which have presumably been sent to us by Sales and never fitted, so that now we are trying to check each lamp that comes in for its particular chassis.
