With reference to your order No. 76678 for CASTROL GEAR OIL S, we would inform you that this grade is not now marketed by us. We understand that the oil is required for use with a Marles Steering Gear, and for your information would say that the manufacturers approve the use of CASTROL D GEAR OIL. We have, therefore, despatched a gallon-tin of this grade which we trust meets with your approval. Yours faithfully, C. C. WAKEFIELD & CO. LIMITED [Signature] Managing Director.
