| X1588 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} From BJ. BJ10/H29.1.26. British Mineral Oil Products Ltd. "VEEDOL". With reference to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}8/LG25.1.26, do you or EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} happen to know whether the American Company are using or advising their customers to use Veedol oil? If so, do you think it is advisable to warn them against using this straight mineral oil? If they are using it as standard, do you think we could learn anything by asking them what has been their experience of using straight mineral oil during the past years? B.J. | ||
