[Handwritten annotations] WST H6200. Reeme HOLLAND - B.G. PLUGS. The Dutch Air Command are anxious to try B.G. Plugs in their Rolls-Royce engines, and a set of these plugs has been supplied by the makers. We understand the type is similar to those used by Delage during the French type test. Messrs. B.G. would like to submit an entirely new type of plug, which they describe as thermostatically corrected, and they say this can be used on any type of aero engine. Messrs. B.G. wish to obtain our authority before trying these new plugs, and if we agree they will send a set to Derby for test. They would also like to send over their representative to be present at the trials if the plugs are considered sufficiently interesting by our Technical Officials. We shall be glad to have your views on the above. Db.{Donald Bastow - Suspensions} [Handwritten note] LOV{Mr Lovesey} we now have these plugs when can we have them tested on a Kestrel V or VI engine 6lbs 'take off' DTD. 230. WSD | ||
