| To CJ. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X967 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}6/LG4. 2. 26. WAKEFIELDS CASTROL. X1583 Before sending our report and standardisation sheet for Wakefields Oil, we are obtaining a complete analysis of the oil compared with Prices. The usual simple analysis has been taken in our own Laboratory and by this means we have obtained as much information about Wakefields oil as we have as regards Prices. Mr. Royce, in the past, has said that we ought to know the exact composition of any oil which we recommend and we have therefore sent samples of both Wakefields and Prices oil to an outside Laboratory who will give us a complete analysis. We anticipate it will be a week or 10 days before we get their report. When this arrives, a complete report and standardisation sheet will be issued. At the same time we will send you the proposed wording for the Instruction Book. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
