Rolls-Royce Ltd. Derby. Attention of Mr. H.E.West. Dear Mr. West, I have your letter of the 6th instant concerning aero sparking plugs. Please be assured that we are pushing on with this job with all possible speed, and according to my present expectation, we shall be able to send you screened samples for complete engine test in about two to three weeks' time. I know you will be interested to hear that we fired our first batch of completely English made "Sinterkorund" insulators yesterday, and that they have turned out very satisfactory indeed. With regard to car plugs, we are also proceeding to make up for you two sets of plugs for your Bentley engine, and I expect these to be ready about the same time. We appreciate the urgency of this matter, and remain, Yours faithfully, THE AC-SPARKING PLUG CO. LTD., [Signature] N.F.STOCKBRIDGE, Managing Director.
