| X4481 To Hl. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJL. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJL.1/MJ.23.8.29. X4481 X1583 OIL FOR HYPOID GEARS. -------------------- We are handing to you, samples of - (a) Whitmore's 'O' Compound. (b) Wakefield's Gear Compound. We should be glad if you would give us as complete an analysis as possible for each of these oils. Wakefield's Compound is supposed to be a copy of Whitmore's 'O' but results obtained in practise indicate that it is very dissimilar. We can supply you with further quantities of either oil if you should require them. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJL. | ||
