| 1204 W/S. To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} absent. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}2/AP.27.2.37. Re. Vincent Sparking Plug. I have had a word with Wst. about the letter you sent, and he agrees with me that we have no interest in this arrangement, and furthermore do not think it would work in a high efficiency engine. In view of this, would you like me to write them that we are not interested.? Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
