Stamped text: BOUGIES RAMPES et ENSEMBLES BLINDÉS de CIRCUITS D'ALLUMAGE Dear Sirs, Our agent for Great Britain, MM. AIRCO CO Ltd sent us a copy of a letter they received from your London Office, Ref. Db{Donald Bastow - Suspensions} 9/JL 25336, signed by M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} ORMOND-DERBY, saying that you have written to inform us that the plugs we begged you to test on behalf of the Dutch Government were found reasonably satisfactory We regret not having received this letter, and also that our representative Mr. KOWALENSKY was not able to meet you during this last visit to Derby, as you were absent at the time. Kindly inform us if you approve our offering this type of plug to the Dutch Government as they are wishing us to do and also, to let us know, by a separate letter for our own information, the technical details of the tests that the plugs have undergone. In case you would like to make further tests with the same plugs, we would of course, be too glad to leave them to you, but we should thank you to send us back the plugs that should fail, with a short note mentionning the conditions under which each one failed. This would be of a great value to us, as the TH. plugs under tests are still in the experimental stage. Our representative Mr. KOWALENSKY will go with pleasure to Derby should you express that desire Hoping to read you soon about the above, and thanking you in advance, we remain, Yours very faithfully.
