PLEASE REFER TO TECHNICAL DEPT. AND QUOTE REFERENCE CMC/MEN IN YOUR REPLY 3rd October, 1936. Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Derby. WST Gentlemen, For the attention of Mr. West - Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.2/MA. In reply to your letter of October 2nd, the alteration to the type 850 to comply with S.M.M. & T. standards would effect no appreciable saving in cost. We would remind you that this plug is already supplied to you for standardisation at a price which is far below manufacturing cost and you will appreciate that any slight saving in material would only be so very small as to make any alteration impossible. Yours faithfully, p.p. K.L.G. SPARKING PLUGS LIMITED. Director. | ||
