Dear Robotham, Between a bad sinus infection and work I have been confined to my local area. I am indeed happy at your attitude on the oil question. The battle may be won now - at least for the first round. We are preparing an official announcement on our policy with regard to engine oil and have established a specification that really means something. I will send you the chronological word picture of the whole business. You may be sure I am going to take advantage of the invite to come up just as soon as I can trust myself that far from home. Thanks again. Yours sincerely, ALEX TAUB. | ||
