Dear Sirs, We are in receipt of your letter of the 29th ultimo concerning Aero Plugs with sinterkorund insulators. In reply we would tell you that our development of the process involved in the handling and firing of sinterkorund is now fairly well advanced, and we hope, certainly within the next five/six weeks, to be in a position to supply you with experimental plugs. Before the plugs are actually made up, however, we think it would be useful if we had an opportunity of discussing certain details with you, and if you could advise us as to which day and time would be convenient for your Engineering Department to receive the writer, he would be pleased to come over to Derby for this purpose. If it would meet their convenience, the writer would like to make the journey on Wednesday the 11th instant, arriving at Derby about 2.30 p.m. Assuring you of our co-operation, We remain, Yours Faithfully, THE AC-SPHINX SPARKING PLUG CO., LTD., [Signature] N.F.
