All letters must be addressed to the Company not to individuals For the attention of Mr. Hives. Dear Sirs, In accordance with telephone request of Mr. Robotham, we have much pleasure in sending you under separate cover a further one dozen Model HD{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}3. plugs, suitable either for Phantom II. or your 25 h.p. cars. From tests which we have made we find that these plugs will withstand more heat than the K.L.G. Model Kl. Our object has been to produce you a plug which will be satisfactory for your high compression engines, both for slow speed as well as full throttle running. We should be much obliged if you could arrange to have these plugs tested, both in Phantom II. and in your 25 h.p. cars. Yours faithfully, LODGE PLUGS LIMITED Bernard Hopps DIRECTOR | ||
