With reference to your Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}/SB.{Mr Bull/Mr Bannister}18/IB.30.4.35., we have given these plugs complete electrical test and find same to be in good condition. The test we have given these plugs usually rejects any plug which is at all faulty. As we have received a number of sparking plugs now from Kingsbury which have been alright when tested on the bench and also when additionally tested in an experimental Bentley chassis we propose holding these plugs until we visit Kingsbury the next time when we will take them down and discuss the whole matter with Mr.Clark.
