You will recollect Flexible Lamps Ltd sent in a sample lamp some months ago which we thought was very badly finished.

They have now submitted a further sample lamp of which the finish is improved, and which I hand you herewith.

As far as price is concerned, the Rubber Lamp is less than a third the price of the Lucas lamp.

A similar sample has also been sent to Conduit Street.
