------------------------
We are sending you herewith six KLG-850 plugs which perhaps you would like to test yourselves and take up with the makers.
These plugs were fitted to the car and when they had only run a few hundreds of miles Owner complained of bad misfires and we had to send another set.
We have since tried these Plugs on another car and confirm that they misfire badly.
(Handwritten): WT. This matter has been cleared to the satisfaction of W.T. RS{Sir Henry Royce's Secretary}
