| 86002e. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.2/JH. 23rd April, 1936. Messrs. Lodge Plugs Ltd., Rugby. Dear Sirs, We find a big improvement in slow running with the RL.14 plug if we use two washers under the gland nut we provide extra gas space round the electrodes. Could you please consider a modification to give us this effect and for the time being send us a small quantity of gland washers to carry on with our tests. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
