To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} X1918.b Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} 8/KT.3.6.33. PLUGS FOR THE BENTLEY CAR. We send you herewith two plugs, one of which will eventually be standardised for the Bentley car. At present we are not certain which will be our final choice. The only alteration we propose to make to the K.L.G. plug is to reduce the diameter of the brass fitting as this causes a short to the induction pipe. We also cannot use the K.L.G. clip for the same reason. With the long reach plug we have to reduce the thread that projects into the bore, otherwise there is difficulty in extracting the plug when the threads become carboned up.
