| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} [crossed out] WST 86001 Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}7/T24.6.35. ---------------- SPARKING PLUGS I have read your interesting note Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}9/MA7.6.35, and I think there is much to be said for what you are suggesting. In my opinion we should take full advantage of the method and routine you have employed; it would pay the Company and save a good deal of waste time and irritation. From time to time sparking plugs have given us difficulties and troubles. I enclose your memo to Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} and should be glad if he would consider it with you and put before me his proposal for centralising this job and making it effective.
