| Extract from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}7/LG6.7.21. X740 RE CARS FOR AMERICA. X.3719. X.4355 X.726 Item 12. Extra Lubrication. We have been carrying out tests in conjunction with this and the results show that we could do without the extra lubrication. It is one of those things which we shall get no thanks for and if ever a car seizes up anywhere for any reason, if the extra oil is not fitted, it will be attributed to that. One feels very dubious as regards recommending any change until there is a demand for it. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
