WST Gentlemen, For the attention of Mr. West. We beg to refer to our letter of May 8th on the subject of the type No. 808 plug which was used in the new PhantomCodename for PHANTOM I engine. You will remember that you criticised this plug on the subject of point burning and we thought this was probably due to the fact that we had reduced the diameter of the point to a very small dimension in the hope of assisting slow running. This appeared to have been a mistake and we undertook to make up another set of No. 808 plugs with the central firing point of larger diameter. This has now been done and twelve of these plugs are being despatched to you under separate cover to-day. We hope that you will be able to make a further test and again let us have your opinion of them. Yours faithfully, p.p. K.L.G. SPARKING PLUGS LIMITED. C. Carington Director. | ||
