Please refer to yours EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}/Thn2/H25.2.24. This morning we are in receipt of a letter from the Robinhood Engineering Works Ltd. dated 5th inst. as follows:- "We would again refer to recent correspondence "concerning the suggested increase of the length of "the external insulation of the K.L.G. sparking plugs "we supply to your orders, with the object of prevent-"ing the possibility of external sparking. "We have been going very closely into this "matter and are not satisfied that we have got to the "root of the trouble. yet "We should very much like to carry out experi-"ments using one of your actual Ignition Coils, and "are therefore writing to ask if you would be "prepared to let us have one for this purpose. We "shall, of course, expect you to invoice this coil "to us." Please say whether you are agreeable to one of our Ignition Coils being supplied to the Robinhood Engineering Works Ltd. to be used in connection with their experiments. Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} | ||
