To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Professor Dodds. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}10/E16.12.36
<s>Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}</s>

When I met him recently, he told me that he was fairly free from trouble provided they cleaned the plugs regularly. I asked him to give me details and I enclose copy of letter received from him.

How soon can we let him have a set of the ceramic plugs which K.L.G. are going to make?

With regard to what he says about starting from cold, I had not heard of this before and should like to have your comments.
