Rolls Royce Limited, Nightingale Road, D E R B Y. Date 22nd January 1919. For Mr Hives Dear Sirs, We thank you for your order No.CH 660 of January 20th, for 50 special Lodge KR4/A plugs. This order has our immediate attention. We have already begun work on these plugs and shall put them through as quickly as possible, but we regret we cannot deliver them in 7/10 days. We should prefer 21 days at least. We should be glad to hear that this will be in sufficient time for your requirements, as we do not want to be unduly hurried over this special work. In our letter of the 15th inst., we suggested that you also ordered some of our new Model D13 plugs of which we sent a sample to show the type of construction. We should be glad to have your decision about this at your earliest convenience. Yours faithfully, THE LODGE SPARKING PLUG CO. LTD. [Signature] DIRECTOR. RECEIVED JAN 23 1919 | ||
