Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/MJ. 8.5.30. We omitted to send you a washer for packing up the centre of your radiator, with the parts which we despatch to you yesterday. However, we anticipate that you will have no difficulty in making what you require. We are sending you some more Lodge sparking plugs. These have a special nickel central electrode, the object being to prevent erosion which took place on the K.L.G. which were run on the 20 HP. The Lodge plugs which you are using are MC.3 Type 30.. You will note that these are marked MC. Type 50. Will you please run them on the left-hand car against the MC.3. 30's and see how they compare.
