MERLIN SPARKING PLUGS. As soon as possible we want to do some sparking plug tests in the Merlin-Horsley with some Lodge A14D/1 and K.L.G. V14D/1 sparking plugs. These flight tests are very important as the Ministry are pressing us for some information re these plugs. They are not ordering any Merlin plugs until we have carried out these tests. Can you let us know when you can make some observations with these plugs? Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
