| X.2676 EFC4/T2517 2nd. May, 1917. Messrs. LucasLtd., Great King Street, Birmingham. Dear Sirs, Re Lighting Dynamo. In answer to yours of the 24th ult., ref: CLR/GD, we shall be pleased to receive the model lighting dynamo which you have been making for us, and which is at present on test, in the course of a week or two. We are at the present moment, overhauling our experimental post-war chassis, and building it up with quite a number of new features, which we wish to test, and with which we hope to incorporate the lighting dynamo. We should, therefore, be glad of as early a delivery of this as convenient. Referring to the Starter Battery which you mention, we have not at the moment done anything with this, but seeing that we wish to use this on the experimental car, we shall, within the course of a week or so, be carrying out preliminary bench tests on this battery. Yours faithfully, | ||
