In reply to your letter of January 15th, we have noted the tests you have made with the type W.145T and W.175 T. in a Bentley engine, but we have not yet received the plugs. As soon as we do we will examine them and write to you again. However, we would inform you that type W.175 T. plugs were put into Mr. Gordon Smith's 3 1/2-litre Bentley about a year ago and that he informs us that they ran without any trouble whatsoever until he sold the car in December. We note that you propose to make further tests on the road and we shall be most interested to hear what results you get. Yours faithfully, p.p. K.L.G. SPARKING PLUGS LIMITED. Director. | ||
