RE TEST TACKLE FOR SPARKING PLUGS. --------------------------------- We have received a request from the Air Ministry to supply them with a full set of drawings of the Sparking Plug Test Rig, which has been erected in your department. This rig was demonstrated to Mr. Warn when he visited these Works recently. We have supplied him with an electrical circuit but this is not sufficient for his requirements. To enable us to prepare drawings will you please supply us with a full specification of the Test Tackle, and accompany it with your working sketches from which parts and altered parts have been made. Until we obtain these it will be impossible for us to proceed with the detailed drawings for the Ministry. Please treat this matter as urgent as the Ministry is pressing for the same.
