RE VISIT OF MESSRS HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} & HY{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} TO WEST WITTERINGHenry Royce's home town
ON WEDNESDAY, 21st. DECEMBER 1921.

(9) SPARKING PLUGS. X.1812. X.1918.

It is now reported that the best plugs for the Goshawk are the K.L.G. detachable mica plugs. I would like Mr. Hives to make sure in the event of us using mica plugs that these are satisfactory under all conditions of running, as we found that Lodge detacha-ble mica plugs on the Buick at West WitteringHenry Royce's home town very soon sooted up in use.
