. ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} re. SHELL OIL. We attach herewith letter we have received from the Shell Mex Company with regard to tests of Lubricating Oil for Rolls-Royce cars. You are of course aware of our attitude in regard to testing lubricating oils, and unless the Experimental Dept. are prepared to carry out some systematic tests with this oil, we are afraid that we cannot undertake to test and report on it at this juncture. As previously pointed out, the testing of oil is a long and tedious business and interferes with general production testing. Perhaps you will discuss this matter with Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} before finally replying. EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} | ||
