(Attention of Engineering Dept.) Dear Sirs, Under separate cover I am sending you a sample of the "Express Spark Plug" for which I have recently been appointed the sole agent for Great Britain. This plug has been very successfully used in the United States, especially under strenuous conditions for Aviation Engines, and I enclose a copy of a report of the American Bureau of Standards of a test on a Hall Scott aviation motor which should prove of interest. I have about 500 of these plugs in stock in England, which are for sale at 4/- each, and if you are interested I shall be glad to send you a trial set for your own tests on one of your aviation motors. Awaiting your further advices, I remain, Yours faithfully, G.R. Thomas Metric Thread on Plugs. | ||
