| WST. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/WST. 81912B LE7/C/24.11.34. Re Chassis No. B.45.AE. Duke of Kent. I have been speaking to the driver of this car to-day and he informs me that he is having quite an amount of trouble with the plugs sooting up every three or four days. He has got a standard Philco wireless set fitted and he is constantly having to clean the plugs. Have you any other type of suppressor or plug which he could try? Anything you can suggest regarding this will be very much appreciated by him and if you will let me know I will pass on the information. J.A.E.R. | ||
