Re: Chassis 76-RC{R. Childs} - Capt. Glen

I am forwarding you extracts of a letter I have received from Capt. Glen, which reads:--

"Do you want any photographs of our Swedish tour for publicity purposes. you are more than welcome to them. I wrote London about it, but they apparently do not want them, they have not answered me any way. I have some Swedish press clips too rather amusing."

You know he had overoiling trouble during his tour and made some experiments with different types of plugs concerning their qualities in an overoiling engine. His information is useful and I am sending a copy of this to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} for his information. edification

Plug. Miles run new. Miles run after 1st. cleaning and dismantling.
Bosch 212 235
A.C. 190 160
K.L.G. 198 212

I have written thanking him for the trouble he has taken in this matter.

Ps.
