Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Derby. Gentlemen, For the attention of H.E. West, Esq. With reference to the K.L.G. type 765-A plug as used in the Bentley car, at present a "clinch" nut is used at the top of the external insulating sleeve which has, in our opinion, a somewhat unfinished and untidy appearance. We have, therefore, made up a sample of this plug with one of our standard "clinch" nuts in place of the one to which we have referred. We think this looks a better job and shall be grateful if you will examine the sample which we send herewith and consider the possibility of your giving us permission to adopt this for all future deliveries. Yours faithfully, p.p. K.L.G. SPARKING PLUGS LIMITED. Director. | ||
