| X7465 To Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}/SB.{Mr Bull/Mr Bannister} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/KW.28.1.35. Re Essolube Oil. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/SB.{Mr Bull/Mr Bannister}10/HR.18.1.35. We obviously cannot test every oil which is put on the market. We therefore cannot test Essolube, but we do not know of any reason why it should not be satisfactory. We suggest that you send to Messrs. Essolube a list of the oils which we recommend for Winter and Summer use, and get them to recommend two of their grades of oil for similar purposes. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/BH. | ||
