| To By.. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}20/N.6.7.38. Bentley - KLG.FLB.30X. Plugs. The anodes of the above plugs burn away rapidly, approx. 6,000 miles. The position is this. An Owner comes in for a top decarb; there is no complaint of misfire, but the condition of the plug points are such that misfiring would occur after a short mileage, after sending the car out. In many cases the Owner is charged for a new set, but the mileage is low to have to scrap plugs. We have now four dozen of these, is there any arrangement to have them returned and made good? The centre electrode is generally in a good condition. Please let us know whether these are to be scrapped or not. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} | ||
