| To C.I. from R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to B.N. " " E.H. ORIGINAL R9/G28/6/19. 3 JUL 1919 RECEIVED X.53 RE REPORT OF THE POSSIBLE JELLY MIXTURE WITH BENZOL. It is quite evident that Benzol should not be used for any important work until we know more about it, and then only certain approved brands.of benzol. I hear there are many brands which have proved defective. For several months I have been running with benzol only, but have only used two brands (Staveley and Birchenwood) both of which have so far shewn themselves to be quite an improvement on the ordinary petrol at present obtainable in this district.
