| 45800. W/S. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJL. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJL.1/MJ.19.7.30. Y5770 Y5800. LAMPS ETC. FOR 18-G4. Thank you for your Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}5/T15.7.30. We cannot trace ever having received from Messrs. Lucas the head-lamps, hand switch and tail lamp. Perhaps you could find out whether these were despatched and to whom they were addressed. We received the stop lamp and two-way foot switch from Messrs. Butlers, but have had to use the stop lamp switch for another car (25-EX). Will you therefore please arrange for another one to be sent to us. We have also received the Bosch foot switch and Homa dash lamp. With reference to Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}2/T18.7.30, as the car will not be completed before the holiday we can wait for the Tandem windscreen wiper without inconvenience. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJL. | ||
