Park Ward & Co. Ltd., 473 High Road, Willesden, LONDON. N.W.10. For the attention of Mr. Ward. Dear Sirs, Re Chassis 4.B.50. "Cresta". We herewith confirm that during Messrs. Evernden and Draper's visit on the 20th July, that you were supplied with a pair of Marchal centre lamps for the above chassis, together with a blueprint shewing the mounting, FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}476 Fog Lamp Mounting. We, however, decided to abandon the twin fog lamp scheme mentioned above, and fit the standard FT.67 spot lamp above the starting handle bracket in the centre which improved the appearance considerably. We are sending, without delay, a suitable bracket for mounting the centre lamp on the starting handle bracket. We also confirm the delivery date given for "Cresta". 5th. August. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. Chief Engineer - Chassis. | ||
