Although we have written on different occasions to inquire as to the progress of the test, we have not received a reply. We must remember that these plugs were given to us gratuitously and I think the least we can do is to report on their behaviour while on test. The Société Eole have several times made inquiries and we have not been able to satisfy them. We have to-day received a letter, parts of which are rather sarcastic asking us if the plugs were duly received in Derby. We should be obliged for a reply by return.
