Buck & Hickman advise they have special instructions from the Whitmore Company to discourage the the mixing of Whitmore's Compound with any other Lubricant, and propose if we try out such Compound in our Gear Boxes we try their No. 9, which is of a lighter density than No.O. They will gladly send us sample down on application. ROY{Sir Henry Royce} [Stamp: RECEIVED 21 MAR 1931] | ||
