With Works in London and Paris, we are now the largest Sparking Plug manufacturers in Europe, and the experience gained during the War enables us to produce absolutely perfect Plugs, which we are certain would be satisfactory in your Engines. If you would be good enough to glance through the pages of our Catalogue, and inform us which type of Plug would be correct in dimensions, we shall be only too pleased to submit you a sample free of charge for testing, and quote you a particularly keen price to secure your interest.
