| 2 The Autocar ACHESON COLLOIDAL GRAPHITE Special lubricants incorporating Acheson Colloidal Graphite are manufactured and marketed by a number of well-known Oil Companies and are meeting with an increasing demand owing to their proved value for automobile engines. Acheson Colloidal Graphite is guaranteed to comprise graphite of practically 100% purity, which through the special process of manufacture is reduced to an extremely fine particle size. It is able through its extreme fineness to pass through the usual oil filters and fuel jets without any difficulty. The formation of "graphoid surfaces" on metal parts is ensured through the use of special lubricants containing Acheson Colloidal Graphite and these surfaces enable the usual motor oil to spread very readily, tend to prevent seizure and reduce wear due to abrasion or corrosion. UPPER CYLINDER LUBRICANTS AND RUNNING-IN COMPOUNDS containing Acheson Colloidal Graphite are of particular value in running-in new and rebored engines, and the use of the former can be continued with advantage throughout the life of the engine. Information regarding suppliers of Colloidal Graphite Lubricants and Compounds will be found on the following pages.
