Dear Sirs,

Attention of Mr. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} W. Hives.

With reference to the writer's conversation with you on 5th instant, as requested we have asked Vacuum Oil Company, S. A.{Mr Adams} F.{Mr Friese} to get into touch through their manager at Chateauroux with Mr. G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} W. Hancock to obtain samples of Mobiloil "D" from the sump of the car which has now almost completed its 20,000 mile test.

As desired, we have asked for the oil to be drained whilst in a thoroughly agitated condition, and as soon as the sample is obtained we will submit it to our Chief Chemist for analysis and furnish you with a copy of his report.

We are most anxious to assist you in any way possible in overcoming any difficulties that may have been experienced with lubrication, and to enable us to investigate the lubrication requirements of this car in a thorough manner we should be glad if you would kindly retain for our examination samples of any deposits that may be found in the crankcase or valve gear when the engine is taken down upon arrival in this country.

As soon as the various samples have been analysed we confirm that we shall be only too pleased to place at your disposal the services of our Chief Engineer, Mr. O.{Mr Oldham} T. Jones, in addition to those of the writer.

Yours faithfully,
For VACUUM OIL COMPANY, LIMITED
Russell Sharp.
Manufacturers' Service Division.

SNGR/PAC.

Mobiloil AND THE WORLD-WIDE ORGANIZATION OF THE VACUUM OIL COMPANY ARE ALWAYS AT YOUR SERVICE.
