Sparking Plugs Ltd., Robinhood Engineering Works, Putney Vale, London, S.W.15. For the attention of Major Carington. Dear Sirs, We are sending to you under separate cover three of your plugs which were run on the last 10,000 miles test car in France. Within 4000 miles on Ethyl petrol the gaps had opened out so much that misfiring occurred. We are now running the short reach plug of the same type, and will let you have information of their behaviour in due course. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
