Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY. Attention : E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} H. {Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Hives, Esq . General Manager & Works Director. Dear Sirs, In reviewing the contacts made by our Technical Engineer with your Research Department officials, it would seem that we have now produced a plug which we believe satisfies your demand, and we are bringing this matter to your notice as we are anxious to make you a proposition for supplies covering your equipment and service requirements. You will appreciate that these types - the N8. and the L8.8 - have more or less been developed in line with your Research Department's request, and we are therefore not placing them in production on a large scale, until we have something more definite from your goodselves. You might be interested to know that we are at present supplying the majority of the British car manufacturers with their requirements of equipment and service plugs, and shall be pleased to submit a list if you are interested. Yours truly, CHAMPION SPARKING PLUG COMPANY LIMITED. [Signature of R.A. Lydy] R. {Sir Henry Royce} A. {Mr Adams} LYDY. MANAGING DIRECTOR.
