| R.R. 199 (250T) (SD676 19-7-17) MP 180865 COPY OF A LETTER RECEIVED FROM:- THE ROBINHOOD ENGINEERING WORKS LIMITED. PUTNEY VALE, LONDON.S.W.15. Gen. Sales. LMB/KS. 30th October. 1919. Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Limited. Nightingale Road, D E R B Y. Dear Sirs, Referring to our letter of the 17th inst., Ref:- K.L.G/KS, we very much regret to find that the two types of Experimental plugs we sent you were of our single point variety, and not of the three-point which you prefer. We hope that this fact has not interfered with your tests, and will send three-point plugs as soon as they are made. We now beg to enclose samples of the special Cleaners referred to in the penultimate paragraph of our letter of the 17th inst., for use in connection with these plugs. These Cleaners should in addition to being revolved, be drawn slightly in and out so as to clean the whole length of the interior insulation. We shall be very glad to learn if you consider these plugs an improvement upon our existing types, and again beg to assure you that no effort will be spared by us to supply you with a plug that is wholly up to your requirements, We are, Yours faithfully, p.p.
