| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. HW. c. EFC. 81918e EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}4/H24.1.24. re. 20-HP Ignition Plugs. We have recently had some correspondence from one of our inspectors, dealing with a 20-HP customer, owner of Chassis-56.S.1 ( Col. A.T. Porritt), pointing out that trouble was experienced with continual missing fire, and it was only when the driver changed the K.L.G. Plugs to Lodge Plugs that he had no further trouble. We are writing to try and obtain further particulars of this matter, but according to the correspondence, one would judge that the car fitted with Lodge Plugs is in every way satisfactory, and the customer has no complaint to make against them.
