These are type 932, which is really a 921 triangle less copper sleeve, for test in the "PHANTOM III". On the 27th ultimo we had the pleasure of sending you 8 type 934 which were 850 triangle less copper sleeve and blunt nose insulator. There are still outstanding 12 type 933 which is a 921 triangle less copper sleeve and with blunt nose insulator, and 12 type P850, which is the standard 850 but with platinum point. I am exceedingly sorry for the delay in getting these plugs through, but immediately the balance are finished they shall be despatched to you. I am very pleased to hear from Major Carington that you reported no trouble when he called upon you early this week, and I sincerely trust the trouble you were experiencing will not recur. Hoping to have the pleasure of meeting you again in the very near future, Kind regards, Yours sincerely, (Signature) 2 | ||
