| To KJP. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X1588 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG12.11.23. "ADCOL" OIL. The 2 oz. sample of the above oil we received from Sp.{Mr Spinney} was much too small a quantity for us to be able to test or even analyse. We therefore purchased from Messrs. Alex. Duckham - 10 galls. of their Adcol Oil. The results so far show that it is quite a good lubricant. Our results however, do not go as far as the makers' claims but we have tested it sufficiently for us to say that there is no reason why Duckhams 'Adcol' Oil could not be used on our cars as an alternative to the oils we recommend. We think this oil is suitable for both Summer and Winter. We should be pleased if you would convey this inform-ation to Mr. S. Harrison. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} attc. note from Sp.{Mr Spinney} dated 11.9.23. and leaflet. | ||
