| To C.J. from R.{Sir Henry Royce} &. to B.J. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X985 R3/M13.10.25. DILUTION OF OIL WITH PETROL ETC. X.1588 X.985 This should only be bad in very cold climates, and where petrol is used wastefully. We are endeavouring to trap this on its way to the cylinders, as a better scheme than getting the oil away from the pistons. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
