| r6011 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.20/JH. 15th June, 1936. Messrs. AC-Sphinx Sparking Plug Co.Ltd., Dunstable, Bedfordshire. For the attention of Mr. N.F. Stockbridge. Dear Sirs, In reply to your letter of the 12th instant we regret that it is impossible for us to reduce the length of the barrel from 11/16" as any reduction in the length brings the H.T. terminal close to the induction manifold and also prevent us sufficient clearance for the spanner. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
