Rolls-Royce Ltd., Works and Registered Office, Nightingale Road, Derby. Re. Your Order No. 61336. Dear Sirs, We are much obliged to you for the above order calling for 2 - sample OSRAM Cadmium Yellow Bulbs 12-volt 48-watt S.C.C. with 'V' Filaments. Unfortunately we are not making these lamps with 'V' Filaments, neither have we any stock at the moment of these lamps with standard line filaments, but these should be available within the next week or two. We have no doubt you will be able to satisfy yourselves of the efficacy of these bulbs with samples having line filaments. Should you eventually find that a 'V' Filament is essential for your purpose we shall be pleased to manufacture such lamps specially for you if you are prepared to order in minimum quantities of 1-gross.
