| Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X 967 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/MJ.4.2.30. HYPOID REAR AXLES. The Laboratory tests on Price's alternative to Whitmore's for rear axles are now completed and we have run two axles on the dynamometer with this oil with satisfactory results. We have now obtained five gallons of this oil and propose putting it into production axles, and if this comes through the dynamometer satisfactorily, we shall issue a standardisation for Price's Hypoid axle oil.
