Hanbury - Head Complaints} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} West. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. 30th December 1935. Dear Sir, We hope you will not think us unduly worrying, but we are very anxious to know whether you have yet been able to test our Desmo Safebeam Anti-Dazzle Lamp, and with what result, and we are enquiring because there has been quite enough fog recently to test its qualities in fog very fully. We shall be very pleased to arrange for our Mr. Lund to call upon you should you desire it, to discuss any features that may have emerged from the tests, should same have been carried out. Yours faithfully, DESMO LIMITED. [Signature] DIRECTOR. Handwritten notes: [Top right corner]: 86116 [Bottom of page]: CAP. Can you find out what they think about this lamp in fog?
