| Lesper S/W. {Sales / Derby Works} X3745 Hn {F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} 8/LH {Mr Haworth} 15.2.21. re Spring Gaiters. -------- We have been requested to suggest a spring gaiter that can be relied upon as being oil tight. In your experience with various types of spring gaiters have you come across one that could reasonably be described as oil tight? Our customer objects to gaiters packed with grease and we shall be glad to know whether you consider gaiters packed with oil likely to be satisfactory.
