| G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} W. Hancock, Hotel de France, Chateauroux, Indre, FRANCE. 15840 To GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}2/WJ.24.3.30. We suspect that the K.L.G. plugs which you are using may be the primary cause of your trouble, though we should think that valve has also been off its seat. We are sending you under separate cover nine new type Lodge plugs which we should like you to report on. We do not like the stepped mica installation on the K.L.G. and feel that it may be becoming incandescent, we have had excellent results from both K.L.G & Lodge (new type) on the bed however.
