Childs}2/ET. In reply to your memo of May 10th, we certainly confirm the writer's remark to Mr. Marsden that we have no doubt that, as a result of our additional experience with Corundite, we can now improve considerably on the FLB.30x plug as soon as it is possible to give proper attention to it. This we have not been able to do up to the present, but we have noted your request and the information which you give us about a rival sparking plug. We are, therefore, proposing to make an investigation immediately and we will let you have samples for test as soon as we are able to do so. Yours faithfully, p.p. K.L.G. SPARKING PLUGS LIMITED. C.J.
