Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd.,
Nightingale Lane,
Derby.

Dear Sirs,
For the attention of Mr. S.H. Grylls.

We should like to thank you for the courtesy extended to our Mr. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Russell Sharp during his visit yesterday, and as arranged we are forwarding to you free of charge a five-gallon drum of Gargoyle Hypoid Gear Lubricant, a powerful type of extreme pressure lubricant, which we have recently placed on the market for use in hypoid rear axles.

We much appreciate your kind promise to test this lubricant, and we shall look forward with much interest to hearing from you in due course the results obtained.

Gargoyle Hypoid Gear Lubricant is on our international list. In addition to the distribution we are arranging throughout this country, therefore, it will be available to marketers of Mobiloil overseas.

We are enclosing herewith a memorandum describing this new product which we confirm has been tested by the Ransome & Marles Bearing Co. Ltd. in a bearing type 5/MDJT.30(brass cages) with a Journal load of 1050 lbs. and Thrust load of 1420 lbs., at a speed of 4,500 rpm. The oil after use was found to be in good condition and all parts were satisfactorily lubricated, while there was no staining on the tracks of the inner or outer races, or on the balls or cages.

Yours faithfully,
VACUUM OIL COMPANY, LIMITED.,
J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Russell Sharp
Manufacturers' Service Division
