| V6000 EP. {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} From Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst. c. to Lp. {Mr Lappin} c. to By. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst.6/MA.13.5.35. PLUGS FOR KESTREL(Aero Engine) ENGINES WITH 6 lbs "TAKE-OFF" BOOST. We have received a telephone message from Mr.Emtage of the Air Ministry to the effect that Lodge A2B/2, K.L.G. V7/2B and V9/IB are all approved plugs for the above Kestrel(Aero Engine) engines. He states that K.L.G. V7/2B plugs have not given any trouble, and we should like your confirmation of this as if this is the case there will be no need to fit the V9/IB plugs which are not as good at very high altitudes as the Lodge A2B/2 or K.L.G. V7/2B. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst. | ||
