Na{Mr Nadin}/S7/LG81214. 8.12.14.

In accordance with Mr.Royce's wishes expressed in his memo R8/IB31214 will you kindly issue an Experimental Number to determine how often it is necessary to lubricate the universal joint beind the gear box, as Test Dept. say every week, and Experimental Dept. consider once a month quite sufficient.
