| Telephone, 276 RUGBY (2 lines) Established 1904 Telegrams, "LODGE, RUGBY." Lodge Lodge Plugs Limited. Rugby. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Limited, D E R B Y. Our Ref. S/WS/MSD Date 30 January 1936. All letters must be addressed to the Company, not to individuals. For the attention of Mr. West. Dear Sirs, Referring to Mr. West's conversation with Mr. Hopps yesterday regarding a long reach 14 mm. plug for your new 25 h.p. car engine, we are sending you a sample of our ordinary production long reach plug type CB14, which we would mention is being standardised by the Daimler, Lanchester and B.S.A. Companies, and will, we expect, also be adopted by the Armstrong Siddeley Company. This plug is listed at 5/-s, and we could supply you for standardization at 1/-s if you should see fit to adopt a plug of this type. As you know, however, Mr. Hopps is of the opinion that you would be better advised to fit the RL14 plug, which you have adopted for the Phantom III. Yours faithfully, LODGE PLUGS LIMITED. SALES MANAGER. Handwritten note: R-S Can you get some RL14's fitted to a large bore 25/30 engine on record WBY | ||
