| Copy of Memo. To Roy{Sir Henry Royce} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}5/MJ.18.11.33 Re: Oils for Bentley Car Our recommendation is that we should use the R.R.oils, i.e., Price's, Wakefield's, Shell, plus Vacuum. We find that Aero Shell was recommended by the old Bentley Co., and that Aero Shell is at present being used and recommended by the Bentley Service Station, therefore to attempt to leave them out would simply mean any amount of negotiations taking place and it would be difficult for us to justify it.
