| X19180 C. to ROY. {Sir Henry Royce} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Tan.9/AD. August 18th, 1932. K.L.G. Sparking Plugs Ltd. Robinhood Engineering Works, Putney Vale, London, S.W.15. For the attention of Major Carington. Dear Sirs, 14 mm. car Plugs. We have now done a considerable amount of running on the L.K.S.6 plugs which you made for us and are very satisfied with their behaviour on the road. There is only one point we should like to alter and that is another 1/10" on the reach if this is possible without interfering with the design of the plug too much. We are passing you an official order for one dozen of these plugs with increased reach and should be glad if you will let us have them as soon as possible. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
