Re 3.AZ.170....Mr.Leonard.

We have ascertained from Mr.Leonard that he has now covered 1,000 miles since the modification and has not moved a plug.

He said the oil consumption was satisfactory but actually he had not taken a real test. He now proposes doing so during the next 1,000 miles he covers and will advise us of the result.

This appears to be 'so far so good.'
