Messrs. Lucas,
Well Street,
Birmingham.

Dear Sirs,

We understand that you have overcome the difficulties relating to the 160.S. lamp i.e., the lamp intended for our 20 HP. car.

You will recollect that the chief difficulty was due to the excessive flexibility of the rear casing making the securing of the glass somewhat precarious.

Will you please let us know what modifications you have made to this lamp as we are considering replacing the RB.{R. Bowen}65.

Yours faithfully,
