| 1261 6001 B. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wst.2/JH. 9th April, 1937. Messrs. K.L.G.Sparking Plugs Ltd., Putney Vale, London.S.W.15. For the attention of Major C.M.Carington. Dear Sirs, You will be pleased to know that as a result of extensive testing we have decided to standardise on all Rolls-Royce and Bentley chassis, your new Corrundite insulated sparking plugs. One interesting feature about these plugs is that they do not appear to suffer from oiling up when run under low duty conditions, also the insulator is not damaged by the effect of lead fuel. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
