| W/S. Db.{Donald Bastow - Suspensions} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} 16000 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.8/MA.3.2.36. Re. B.G. PLUGS. In reply to your Db.{Donald Bastow - Suspensions}2/JL.1.2.36., we have run 41 hours on the above type plugs on a Kestrel engine 40 hours of which was run at 545BHP/2600 R.P.M. with satisfactory results. As soon as an opportunity arises we should like to give these plugs a full throttle test and we suggest therefore that you defer giving a final report until this result is made available.
