| Copy of letter received from:- Messrs, Lodge Plugs Limited., RUGBY. Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}15/NJ30326. WS/IW. 8th, April, 1926. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Sirs, "Phantom" Chassis. We have received your letter of 30th ult., and note that your Experimental Dept. are satisfied with the result of their tests on our Model C.150 detachable steatite plug, and that you will prefer it to the present Model C, you are now taking. We regret that we shall not be ready for a little while to make deliveries of this new model, and we have put into stock against your requirements approximately 4,000 of the present Model C. plug; 1,000 of these are covered by your order No.52438, and we should be glad, in the circumstances, if you could arrange to give us an order covering the balance (3,000 plugs) which we have in stock. By the time you have taken these, we anticipate we shall be in a position to deliver the new pattern. With regard to the type designation; in this case the figures "150" following the letter "C" will denote the type, and it will therefore be correct for you to record "Model C.150" for the purpose of ordering supplies of the new plug. Yours faithfully, LODGE PLUGS LIMITED., (Sgd) William Shelley, Sales Manager | ||
