Nightingale Road DERBY OUR REF AML/FB Date 11 July 1918 For the attention of Mr.Hives Dear Sirs, We finished the reconstruction of the 12 Model KR4 plugs by midday to-day, and were about to send them to you by Passenger Train when we heard that Lieut.Travers of the Air Board was calling here this afternoon and going on to Derby. We therefore kept the plugs back for him to take with him. Lieut.Travers has not arrived yet (5.45 p.m.) and if he does not call soon we will send them off by Parcel Post to you to-night. We think you will find the plugs now quite satisfactory. Yours faithfully, THE LODGE SPARKING PLUG CO. LTD. AlexLodge. DIRECTOR RECEIVED JUL 12 1918 | ||
