With reference to Ey.3/G1S.2.30. We are satisfied that Price's Compound can be mixed with Whitmore's Compound without producing any ill effects on the lubricating qualities of the resulting mixture. We are not yet in a position to give a decision on Wakefield's Compound either when mixed with Whitmore's or when used by itself; we are awaiting Hl's final Laboratory report on this oil before actually testing it in an axle.
