All letters must be addressed to the Company, not to individuals For the attention of Mr. West. Dear Sirs, Further to our letter of April 9th. we are sending you herewith 6 - X523. plugs for test on your 20/25 h.p. car. These plugs are exactly the same as the RL.14 but with increased internal clearances, which will enable you to run with increased spark gaps without fear of internal sparking taking place. We should be glad if you would have these plugs tested and advise us if they overcome the slow running troubles which you have previously experienced in this car with the standard RL14. Yours faithfully, Bernard Hopps | ||
