GEORGE ROBERTS, % PEEK, FREAN & CO. LTD., DRUMMOND ROAD, LONDON, S.E.16. TELEGRAMS: "PICKAXE, LONDON." TELEPHONE: 3570 HOP (EIGHT LINES) LONDON, S.E. 16th September, 1921. Messrs Rolls-Royce Limited., Experimental Dept., Nightingale Lane, DERBY. Dear Sirs, On the 22nd July I sent you 13 Sparking Plugs, viz:- 6 for Battery 6 for Magneto 1 for Dis-mantling and examination. I have not heard from you since, and I am now writing to ask you if you are in a position to report, to some extent, as to your experience with these plugs. As I wrote to you at the time, the patent rights for this Country are offered to me on very reasonable terms, and if these plugs have proved to be as good as the Manufacturers claim, I should imagine that they might become, in some form or other, an interesting proposition for your Company. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. I remain, Yours truly, George Roberts X1812 b, | ||
