IGNITION PLUGS & WIRING. With reference to the plugs that we shall order for 40/50 chassis in the future, I have discussed this matter with Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}, and he is satisfied that the best plug to order for the present moment is C.56 Lodge. This is a Steartite plug and is suitable for either position. Will you kindly order up 1000 of the above plugs at once, as I understand we are entirely out of 40/50 plugs at the moment. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
