HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} GOSHAWK 11. SPARE LAMP BULBS. x357/b In reply to your By12/P81122. Mr. Royce does not like the lucas scheme for carrying the bulbs in a cylindrical holder. Also he thought it very desirable to have all the small spares together in one box, both for the convenience of ourselves and customers. With a box specially made for this purpose such as the design we have sent you, none of the spares ought to come to any harm except owing to gross carelessness.
