Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wst.13/AP.3.3.37.

NEW K.L.G. CERAMIC SPARKING PLUGS.

We shall pay K.L.G.'s 1/3 each for these plugs for the first 500 and 1/- each for further deliveries. This will compare with the price of 2/3 which we now pay Messrs Lodge for the Phantom III. plugs and 2/6. each which we pay K.L.G.'s for the Bentley plug.

This represents a saving of 36/- per engine for the Phantom III. and present indications are that the plug is very much superior to the existing Lodge.
