The division lobbies prime ministers, cabinet room retiring places are all to be lighted by us for which wil be about 3000 pounds and utilise some of our old machines. # in re the genral question on the ship lighting we will hopefully have the english fleeting in our hands. The trial of the TAE lamp is on board of the "Nevil" , disscussion the 36 ton gun, nd the armour plated target the lamp needs to withstand the impact of the air to be successful. # the provisonal orders to have the passed the third reading of the Lords and the royal assent is to be received today. At the same time electric light matter are at their lowest ebboutside the swan company and ourselves. Insull marg for Eaton to return after perusal; TAE marge "Hurrah"
