Re: Bosch Sparking Plugs. With reference to Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 1/LG2.11.28, we have not placed an order for the special Bosch Plugs and in any case we had no intention of buying any quantity of plugs at the price quoted. We have arranged with the London Agents to write to Stuttgart and ascertain exactly what range of plugs they have available for high compression engines, and on hearing from them we shall make arrangements to have half-a-dozen of such plugs as are considered suitable sent to you for experimental test, on the condition that if they are not satisfactory they will be removed from the engine and sent back to Bosch in that condition, so that we shall not be involved in any expense if the plugs do not come up to your requirements.
