NOTEK FOG LAMP.

I left Derby last night with Flight Lieutenant Bulman at 6.45 p.m. and experienced fog all the way to London, thus taking six hours for the run.

The Notek Lamp fitted to the car is, without question, the best fog lamp I have driven behind.

In addition to a reasonable beam forward, both sides of the road are well illuminated.

You will recall I sent two of these lamps to you and shall be interested to learn if you have had any experience with these at Derby.

Lp.{Mr Lappin}
