DETACHABLE
LODGE PLUGS

We understand you took over with you a number of detachable Lodge sparking plugs. There is a move to standardise these on the Phantom cars because they can be cleaned after they have oiled up.

We are therefore anxious that these should run 10,000 miles.

If you did not take these plugs out with you, will you please let us know by return, and we will despatch some immediately.

Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /W.A.Robotham.
