For the attention of Mr. Robotham. Dear Sirs, In accordance with your request we are sending you under separate cover 1 dozen X318. plugs 14 m/m thread. These we have specially designed for you for your 2¼ litre supercharged engine. We think these plugs should withstand considerably more heat than the HD{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}15. and probably as much as the X309. We shall be interested to have your opinion of them. Yours faithfully, LODGE PLUGS LIMITED. Bernard Hopps DIRECTOR. This letter was dictated by Mr. Bernard Hopps and signed in his absence by RECEIVED 4 DEC 1932 | ||
