R.R. 295 B 200 T) (S.F. 673, 22-5-19. G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2376. X601 EH. from BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} BY17/P21.10.19. CHASSIS - SPARKING PLUGS. ------------------- Mr Pilley called with reference to the question of the Lodge Sparking Plug. He states apparently in a reply to your query made at the previous visit, that the C, type of plug, a dozen of which he left with us was exactly the same as the same type that were marketed in prewar days, with the exception that instead of Steatite insulation, which they are now not able to obtain, they have substituted Porcelain. I told him I would let you know exactly what he stated and hand the plugs over to you for testing. BY: | ||
