All letters must be addressed to the Company, not to individuals. For the attention of Mr. Robotham. Dear Sirs, In reference to our visit on Monday the 18 m/m plug which we should recommend for your standard 25 h.p. car is the same plug as we supply to you for the Phantom engine, namely our HC3. We are sending you under separate cover 1 1/2 dozen of these plugs, and should be much obliged if you could include them in your next 10,000 mile test on the 25 h.p. car. In regard to 14 m/m plugs for your Bentley engine, we understand you require a further quantity of the X339. two-point plug, and that you would also like to try the same plug fitted with the three-point low voltage stamping. This latter plug will be known as the X335. Will you please let us have your instructions as to how many you require. Yours faithfully, LODGE PLUGS LIMITED. [Signature] Bernard Hopps. DIRECTOR | ||
