| Y6000. Mr.Mansell A.I.D. From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.4/MA.19.7.35. As a result of a discussion I had with Mr.Emtage, R.D.E.3 it has been agreed that we should fit to the Kestrep Exp.5 type-test 12 Lodge X402B/2 or as they are alternatively known as the A5/B, and 12 K.L.G. 886B sparking plugs. The K.L.G. 886B has a modified form of electrode head with overall earth points similar to the 832sparking plug which successfully completed a Pegasus typetest. Will you please give instructions that these plugs are to be used on this type-test and inform all concerned that the plugs in question can be obtained from me. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
