London, S.W.1.

Dear Sir,

We have tested the 24 NA.{Mr Nadin}10 plugs which you have submitted for test and regret that these are not suitable due to their heat factor being too high, i.e. they oil up very easily.

Could you send us a further batch of plugs which are designed to run hotter?

Yours faithfully,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED.
