Unless, therefore, there are special reasons why we should standardise Lodge Plugs, I suggest we carry on with the first 50 Bentley cars with K.L.G, and so save this money, which will run into some hundreds of pounds per annum. Kindly advise if in accord. I believe the results to date on the Bentley experimental chassis show little difference, if any, between the two Plugs. ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
