Messrs. K.L.G.Sparking Plugs Ltd.,
-Robinhood Engineering Works,
Putney Vale,
LONDON.S.W.15.

For the attention of Major Carrington.

Dear Sirs,

We have tried the plugs which you have made up for us with Aero type construction and our preliminary results shew that they will not give sufficiently good slow running.

We should like your opinion as to what you can do to improve this point. In the meantime we are proposing to order K.L.G. 765A's. with Stellited points for the Bentleys at present being produced.

The writer is leaving for America on Saturday the 30th.inst., and therefore should you wish to discuss the plug position the days available are Thursday and Friday of next week.

Yours faithfully,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD.
