Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /FD. {Frank Dodd - Bodies} 9/JH.17.6.38.

WXA.2. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 's Wraith.

The misfiring trouble on this car was caused by 3 of the sparking plug suppressors breaking down, nothing was wrong with the R.R. coil.

We have however changed over to a Delco coil in view of the change of policy.
