| (COPY) X1812 R. {Sir Henry Royce} HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} EP {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} 10/H16.7.24. re. Sparking Plugs for Testing. We have considerable trouble with sparking plugs on the engine gear quietening stand, due to overoiling. Do you know of a good cheap plug which will stand up to the engine gear quietening job. Of course we do not use the standard plugs with which it is intended to despatch the chassis when running the engines for engine gear quietening. [Handwritten:] Mr Davis please, can you let us have a reply to this. EP. {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} 18/8/24 [signature] | ||
