London' PLEASE REFER TO TECHNICAL DEPT. AND QUOTE REFERENCE RGM/MSR. IN YOUR REPLY 11th September 1936 H.E. West Esq., Messrs. Rolls Royce Limited, DERBY. Dear Mr. West, I have just heard from our Sales Department that they have received your order No. 22971 dated 28th ultimo calling for 50 type 850 triangle three point to be consigned to Derby, and two gross of 850 for resale to be consigned to Bentley Motors, The Hyde, Hendon. I understand all these plugs have been put in hand in the factory but I would like to raise the query with you regarding the triangle modification. Is it your intention in future to change over to the modified 850? because if so we shall have to make arrangements here to that end. Further I understand all 850 plugs, even with various modifications, have in the past been supplied to you with two points, I am therefore under the impression that possibly an error has crept in on your order. I shall be extremely obliged if you will be kind enough to drop me a line on the subject at your earliest convenience. Yours sincerely, Kelf Mundy [Logo: THE SOCIETY OF MOTOR MANUFACTURERS & TRADERS LTD - SMM&T] [Logo: THE SOCIETY OF BRITISH AIRCRAFT CONSTRUCTORS - SBAC] | ||
