| R.R. 235a (100 T) S.H. 798, 10-12-20: G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2948 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} C. to E.P. X1588 Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}3/NJ15.4.21. Sterns Ltd. Royal London House, Finsbury Square, E.C.2. These people have written us (13th inst) stating that they have been informed by their Managing Director, Mr. L.C. Wallach, that the results obtained from the use of their AMBROLEUM in his Rolls-Royce car are extraordinarily satisfactory and the improvement in running when the Gear Box is filled with AMBROLEUM is a revelation. Therefore they have again approached us in the hope that we will take up this lubricant. They state they are prepared to put us on special terms for supply thereof and would like us to make a thorough test. I assume we have had experience of this gear oil and that we have decided that Prices' gear oil is preferable. However, before replying to Sterns Ltd. I should like to have your views.
