| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} KRR83 ROY{Sir Henry Royce}/GEA.7/EB.29.11.33. WAKEFIELD'S GEAREASE FOR AXLE LUBRICATION. We note from memo BY/EM4/J.27.11.33, that we are to continue to use Whitmore's Compound until it has been thoroughly demonstrated that Messrs. Wakefield's Gearease meets our requirements, and are arranging accordingly. Meantime, we would again point out, that Whitmore's Compound costs us more than double the price we pay for Wakefield's Gearease. ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
