With reference to the sample Oil Gun which we received from Messrs. Benton & Stone, after sending a special gun with a right angle bend and produced by ourselves, Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} now agrees that this type of oil gun having, a right angle bend fitted to the end of the flex should be our standard model. Will you kindly send through an alteration to our Spares & Tools list calling for the improved type Oil gun with right angle bend at end of flex. We would like the O.O. to try and obtain these improved oil guns at the earliest possible moment. The Test Dept. are particularly anxious to have half a dozen for their own use as they facilitate oiling up to a very marked extent. BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
