| -2- Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd. 17th October, 1935. You will observe that the mineral matter is 60% approximately, consequently there is not much left for oil decomposition products. It is interesting to note that the mineral matter contains 31% of lead oxide. The origin of this is obvious. It is also interesting to note the very tiny amount of tin oxide and chromium oxide. Yours faithfully, C. C. WAKEFIELD & Co. LIMITED. E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} A. {Mr Adams} Evans CHIEF CHEMIST | ||
