| To HY.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. CJ. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} X4084 E5/M11.11.22 X.3576 - GOSHAWK II SPARE LAMP BULBS X4084 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 purposes such as the design we have sent you, none of the spares ought to come to any harm except owing to gross carelessness. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
