| -2- D.G. Abbot-Anderson, Esq. 17th April, 1940. over 100°F. {Mr Friese} , and an Octane Number - with the addition of 4 c.cs. of T.E.L. per Imp.Gall., of about 95. In very general terms, therefore, one can regard Safety Fuel as a White Spirit, or short boiling range Kerosene, of high Octane Number. There are one or two further points which could, perhaps, be elucidated more easily by demonstration in our own laboratories and if, at any time in the near future, you are likely to be in London, perhaps you could write or telephone me, when we could go into this matter in more detail. With best wishes, Yours sincerely, | ||
