In the meantime we could execute a small order of 2 gross, but even for this quantity we should require about a month or 6 weeks for delivery, and our price would be 5/-s. each. nett, carriage & packing extra. We do not know for what purpose you require these plugs, but if you desire a plug for your standard car we can offer you either our Model C3. detachable Plug, or our Model C9. non-detachable. Both of these plugs are constructed with Mica insulation, and we can thoroughly recommend them for car work. We have much pleasure in enclosing a sample of the above plugs, and for your requirements we should suggest the non-detachable Model C9. as the most suitable type. We can give you satisfactory deliveries of either of the above models, and beg to quote you P.T.O. | ||
