Initial of person addressed. Re Lodge Sparking Plugs. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} for Exp. Dept. Na{Mr Nadin}21/IB5214. 5/2/14. Mr. Royce suggested that we should experiment further with Lodge Sparking Plugs because it would be better to purchase our plugs in England, if we are able to do so. I have, therefore, ordered a quantity of Lodge Plugs in both the waterproof type and the ordinary type. These we hope to hand to you in the course of the next day or two. I attach herewith a copy of a letter received from the makers in respect of the plugs they are forwarding.
