Rolls-Royce Limited, Derby. Dear Mr. Robotham, In accordance with your request, I have to-day despatched eight type K.1/859 plugs to Mr. Hancock in France. These are similar to the standard K.1 plug, with the exception that a slight modification has been made in order to cover the part of the copper sleeve on the central electrode which is exposed in the standard design. I shall be very interested indeed if you will let me know what sort of a report Mr. Hancock gives on these plugs. Yours truly, (Signature) | ||
