RE ALEMITE GREASE GUN. Referring to the Alemite grease gun, sample of which you left at West WitteringHenry Royce's home town on your last visit, Mr. Royce would like you to fit up a chassis with the alemite form of lubricator, and report on this grease gun at Derby. If you find this method of lubrication satisfactory, he would like a set for his own use, possibly rigged up on chassis 6.EX. If you have no other model to test but the one left at West WitteringHenry Royce's home town, we will return it as soon as you let us know.
