| -2- Messrs. Rolls-Royce Limited 29th April, 1938. is oil-tight. We also assume that the Rolls-Royce Company does not look to the lubricant to quieten their gears. With these assumptions in our minds, we venture to suggest that the new oil will be equally suitable to the old for your gear boxes. Yours faithfully, C. C. WAKEFIELD & Co. LIMITED.
