Re: SPARKING PLUGS - BENTLEY CHASSIS
--------------------------------------

We thank you for your Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Rc {R. Childs} 6/JH.16.12.38 and note that you have received a set of plugs on which the earth electrode has worn badly.

The plugs have run 14.380 Kms. on chassis B.35.KU. Our Stores unfortunately made a mistake when labelling them. They should have been labelled "Removed from chassis B.35.KU" and not B.6.MR.

The plugs have been used under various driving condi-tions, because B.35.KU was one of our trials cars.

Please refer to Sr/VA3/ET.29.9.38 re FLB.50.X type sparking plugs.

Sr/WHA.
