Dear West, Further to my letter of the 18th instant, I have pleasure in reporting upon the two type 850 plugs referred to in the last paragraph. One of the plugs is shorting internally due to oil saturation, and the other is an electrical breakdown probably caused by damage done to the top sleeve. In the circumstances, in order to clear the matter I am sending two new plugs type 850 to keep your stock straight. Yours sincerely, R.S. Please record & return. | ||
