| 1305 Experimental Dept. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /AFM. {Anthony F. Martindale} 2/MH. {M. Huckerby} 12th. April, 1939. West Ham Oil Co. Ltd., Elmhurst Road, LONDON, E.7. Your Ref. GHB/MW. Dear Sirs, Penetrating Grease. In reply to your letter of 3rd. April, as we use gaiters on our springs which are fed internally with oil we do not think we have a use for your product. We like to keep up to date, however, and will test your lubricant if you care to send us a sample, on the understanding that this does not obligate us in any way. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
