| 81918 e Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 3/AD. April 25th, 1932. Major Carrington, K.L.G. Sparking Plugs Ltd. Robinhood Engineering Works. Putney Vale, London, S.W.15. Dear Major Carrington, Thank you for your letter of the 19th inst. ref. CMC/MEN. I shall certainly continue running the KXX.S.5. plugs and should be obliged if you could send me one or two more to enable me to be sure of having six to run. We have run up against rather an unpleasant feature on your existing K.1 sparking plugs i.e. that they misfire on the pick-up. We should be glad to demonstrate this to you next time you come up at the same time we should like your suggestions as to any way of overcoming the difficulty. Yours sincerely, Major Carrington, | ||
