| [Handwritten top]: Mr Hulse X601 4-9-16 can you fix this question up [Handwritten left]: By [Typed]: By C.Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} for E.H. [C.Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} is struck through] [Typed]: EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}/T18/F29816. Re Oiling up of Plugs. ---------- With reference to your memo By6/P26816, in which you state that you understand from Commander Briggs that the overoiling question on plugs has been settled fairly satisfactorily by the use of Lodge Racing Air-Cooled plugs, and that in reply to this you stated that we were now using this type as standard, will you please note that, although this type of plug is the best we have yet been able to obtain, the Experimental Dept. have not yet agreed that they shall be standardised. I consider the question of plugs is one which should have the urgent consideration of the Experimental Dept. The above also replies to your memo By/9/MP26816. EP.{G.
