32-EX. PHANTOM III.

K.L.G. Sparking Plugs.
Type FE.30. X.

We have had to renew two of these plugs as the central electrodes were burnt right away.

We are sending these to you for examination.
They have run altogether in England & France, 6,265 miles and were re-set at .020" after 3,000 miles running.
