| HP. from Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} c. to By c. to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 20 H.P. Chassis. K.L.G. Ignition Plugs. In mine Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}3/NJ6.3.24 I gave you copy of letter from the Robinhood Engineering Works Ltd. dated 5th inst. In said letter no reference is made to the despatch of K.1 sparking plugs with extra long external mica insulation, promised by Mr.K.Lee Guinness when he was here, although in response to a request from the Robinhood Engineering Works Ltd. we informed them of the number of plugs required to replace those in stock. I assume the Robinhood Engineering Works are refraining from sending us supplies of K.1 sparking plugs with extra long external mica insulation until they have carried out further experiments. If this should prove to be so, will you be inconvenienced in any way. Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} | ||
