| 1229. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}/./MH.{M. Huckerby} 3rd. September 1938. O.T.Jones, Esq., Vacuum Oil Company Ltd., Caxton House, Westminster, LONDON, S.W.1. Dear Mr.Jones, With regard to our telephone conversation, I find that it is impossible to send you any oil from the drum delivered last March. Unfortunately, owing to the fact that this drum was fitted with a very excellent tap, the contents of the new drum have been poured into it. As soon as we have done a run on the new oil which you said you would send me, I will let you know the result as this might be a guide to see whether the old batch of oil has in any way deteriorated. Yours sincerely, | ||
