O/P/466 Magnet House, Moor Street, BIRMINGHAM. 1st. Jan, 1931. Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., Nightingale Road, DERBY. Dear Sirs, We have yours of Dec. 31st., and regret to note your complaint. The Lamps in question should stand slightly over-running for short periods, but we would like to mention, that the normal voltage should be 12 Volts. We can however, supply you with a Lamp suitable for 14 Volts as used on Buses, our No. S.7214, the price of which would be 1/8d each less your usual discount. It may be however, that some of the Lamps we have already sent forward are not up to the standard manufacture, we shall therefore be pleased if you will kindly return them to us for inspection.
