PLEASE REFER TO AVIATION DEPT. AND QUOTE REFERENCE LM/MR IN YOUR REPLY 18th December, 1936. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Limited, DERBY. FOR THE ATTENTION OF H.E.WEST. ESQ. Gentlemen, With reference to your telephone enquiry this afternoon, you will have received our telegram advising you that we are posting to you to-night, 12 type MX.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer}7 Extensions. With regard to the developments of the original i.e. type MX.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer}7/1, we must express our deep regret that it will not be possible for us to let you have these before Tuesday at the earliest. The Extensions are in hand and no time is being lost in the manufacture, but our Works do not estimate that they will actually reach the Inspection Department for final viewing, before Tuesday afternoon, and this on the assumption that there is no unforeseen delay. You may rest assured that we are doing everything we can to expedite this particular order and we will certainly advise you if there is any possibility of improvement on this promise. With regard to K.L.G. type R.868 plugs that you are so urgently needing, we are pleased to advise you that in response to an urgent request from your Purchasing Department, we were able to despatch 73 of these last Wednesday, which have presumably reach you by now and that a further 60 are due for completion to-morrow. Furthermore we are hopeful of having anywhere between 100 and 200 ready to send you before the Christmas holidays. Yours faithfully, p.p. K.L.G. SPARKING PLUGS LIMITED.
