W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham, Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Exptl. Dept., DERBY. Dear Mr. Robotham, I have to thank you for your letter of November 13th and quite appreciate that you cannot refer to our E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} P Lubricant in your Instruction Book until you have actually made road tests, I trust, however, you will agree with me that the laboratory tests have shown that it should be suitable. Naturally we are very anxious to see our E.P. lubricant amongst your recommended oils, and we shall be very grateful indeed if you can arrange an early opportunity for a road test. Perhaps the next time I am in Derby we might be able to discuss the matter. Yours sincerely, L.G. Callingham | ||
