[Typed Content:] We send herewith one dozen of the latest Lodge Plugs known as C2. The makers propose to supply these against our demands for 1915. Will you kindly arrange to test this small quantity as early as possible and advise us as to the results. p. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Mcr, [Handwritten Note:] These plugs are entirely different design to those which we have previously recommended. It will be at least two or three months before we could test them sufficiently to recommend. I think it would be interesting to write to Lodge's & ask them what advantages we should anticipate in these new plugs, or why do they propose to stop making the others.
