| 1234 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/MH.{M. Huckerby} 29th. July 1938. The Vacuum Oil Company Ltd., Caxton House, Westminster, LONDON, S.W.1. For the attention of Mr.O.T.Jones, Chief Engineer. Dear Sirs, With reference to your letter, ref. OTJ. of July 28th., we are interested in any new developments with regard to oil for running-in engines, and should very much like to test it out if you could let us have a 5-gallon supply. We believe that we have a test at the moment which is particularly good for demonstrating the ability of a lubricant to avoid partial seizure during the running-in period. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
