| No. 2 C. C. WAKEFIELD CO. Ltd., (cont.) 10th.March. 1926 Rolls-Royce, Ltd. It is a fact that the fatty oil content does materially affect the oxidation value of an oil, and in fact the difference between the fatty oil content, and the nature of the fatty oils present, in the two lubricants is sufficient to account for the difference in the amounts of asphalt produced by blowing. Therefore it follows that the conclusion arrived at is faulty, because all the evidence available has not been considered. We are therefore reluctantly compelled to state that we disagree with Mr.Adams' report. Yours faithfully, C. C. WAKEFIELD & Co., LIMITED.
