Sales. DEPT AND QUOTE REFERENCE. CAB/CS. 12th November, 1924. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Limited, Nightingale Road, Derby. Gentlemen, We acknowledge and thank you for your order No. 36340 covering 12 "K.L.G" plugs type 201. This is the original miniature "K.L.G" plug, and since its production various modified and improved models have been produced until, at the moment, the miniature type 275 represents a great advance upon the 201. We thought it best to advise you of this and perhaps on having this intimation you would prefer we should supply type 275. However, you might kindly confirm. Owing to the fact that only small quantities of all types of miniature plugs have been produced, we are hardly in a position at the moment to arrive at a definite rate for this plug, and we prefer to leave this detail open for the time being, if you do not mind. On the assumption that you will take the model 275, we have put in hand one dozen for you, and they will be ready in a few days. We shall be glad to hear from you meanwhile. yours faithfully, p.p. THE ROBINHOOD ENGINEERING WORKS LTD., Assistant Sales Manager. | ||
