| 664 . Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} LA {L. A. Archer} 3/T22.4.38 re. Chassis No. WXA-1 Re the sparking plugs returned ex the above chassis. I tested these plugs on our tester and found that at 85 lbs. pressure these plugs did misfire. Without doing anything to them I fitted them into a Bentley Chassis and we gave them a run of approximately 50 miles but could perceive no signs of misfire during this run. I again put the plugs in the tester and found that they still misfired at 85 lbs. pressure. The plugs have now been handed to Childs and I expect he will let you have a further report. LA {L. A.
