WST

Dear Sirs,

We beg to advise you that we have to-day despatched to you one dozen of our latest type A5B. plug to replace the one dozen A5B/1's. which you have returned to us.

This A5B. is an approved Air Ministry type for engines requiring plugs of a higher heat factor than the A2/2.

We should be much obliged if you could submit this dozen plugs to main engine bench tests, and advise us if you consider them satisfactory for your standard production engines of the Kestrel VI. type.

Yours faithfully,

LODGE PLUGS LIMITED.
Bernard Hopps
DIRECTOR
