| A.{Mr Adams} J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Rowledge Esq. 1st, December, 1931. 2. The Plug was designed by Mr. Roy{Sir Henry Royce} Hurley, for nine years Chief Engineer of the B.G. Sparking Plug Co. (the only manufacturers of Mica Sparking Plugs in the United States up to this time) and is being marketed by an extremely reliable and influential group of men, well known in the Aviation and Automobile industry. It is furthermore our intention to arrange for its manufacture in England just as soon as tests have proven its suitability for British engines. I propose telephoning you to-morrow, Wednesday, morning, at which time I hope you will be able to fix up an appointment for me. Should you prefer that I come up to Derby to-morrow afternoon I could doubtlessly arrange to do so. Yours faithfully, [Signature] Capt. Cyril Turner. [STAMP] RG{Mr Rowledge} 2 DEC 1931 RECEIVED | ||
