-----------------
We do not consider these plugs satisfactory for our use.
CHAMPION PLUGS. We have so far only received one sample
of these plugs. From examination, the complaint we have
of the sample is the fact that it is only a single point plug.
We have always obtained the best running on our engines with
the multi-point plugs.
We should like to have samples of plugs which have
been proved successful on R-R Cars in America by our Service
Station there. For car work we prefer a plug which has -

1. Pot insulation.
2. Nickel sparking points.
3. Multi sparking points.
