We are sending you herewith some special oil from Prices to replace Whitmores compound.

We suggest that as a preliminary you try this in the gear box and if it shows up well it ought to be run on an axle. If you do not feel inclined to try it on a production axle we shall have to arrange to put one of our experimental cars on the dynamometer.

Will you please let me know what you think about it.

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}
