Dear Sirs,

We thank you for your letter ref. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}15/KW. of the 20th inst. advising that only boiled linseed oil was employed in treating the castings referred to.

We wish to confirm that we have passed the sample of used Mobiloil EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} and the deposit to our laboratory for analysis and will write you regarding the results at the earliest possible date.

In addition to this we have written the Vacuum Oil Company, New York, who have considerable experience of the use of this product in view of the widespread use of hypoid type gears in the U.S.A. and have asked them to discuss the matter fully with Mr.W.A.Rowbotham on his arrival in New York. We trust that in making these arrangements mutually helpful information will be secured.

We wish to thank you for the courtesy extended to Mr.J.Russell Sharp and the writer during their visit to your works on the 20th inst.

Yours faithfully,
VACUUM OIL COMPANY, LIMITED.

O.T. Jones
Chief Engineer,
Automotive Department.
