Hallam - Head Repairs} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/MA.5.12.33. Re. Sparking Plugs For Bentley Car. Roy.{Sir Henry Royce}8/HC.4.12.33. We do not know where you are getting your information from but from Experimental tests we are certainly not in a position yet to standardise the K.L.G. plug. As we mentioned in our memo reference Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/WJ.4.12.33., if we are asked today to order plugs the most satisfactory plug is the Lodge X.335. Our chief reason for writing this further note is to make it very clear we have not yet standardised K.L.G. plugs, our tests are proceeding and a decision will be made in 14 days. Hm.{Capt. W.
