| 86001e. Expl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.1/MJ. 6th. August, 1936. Messrs. K.L.G. Sparking Plugs Ltd., Robinhood Engineering Works, Putney Vale, LONDON.S.W.15. For the attention of Major C.M. Carrington. Dear Sir, We wish to try out on both our Bentley and Phantom lll chassis sparking plugs having a less heat factor than the 850 and 921 plugs now being tested. These plugs tend to soot up rather easily and we believe it would be possible for us to run with a hotter plug. Can you supply us with some suitable plugs for test?. Yours faithfully, For Rolls-Royce Ltd. | ||
