| EWP{Mr Punt}/22/FAW.16.10.30. TO D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} Derby. From EWP.{Mr Punt} Paris. ------------------ LUBRICATING OILS. ------------------ Kindly note that earlier in this year you informed us that the Wakefield Gear Oil grade 'S' for Gear Box was found to be too thick. We would like to know whether the position is now altered, as we understand from the Paris branch of Wakefield's that the matter has been looked into and that this-grade of oil is now thinner. We would therefore be glad to know if you think we shall be safe in using it as an alternative to Price's Gear Oil EWP.{Mr Punt} | ||
