Dear Sirs, RE: OIL VISCOSITY. We have your favour of the 25th instant, and note your enquiry as to viscosity figures for Motorine C at low temperatures. Our Chemists have the matter in hand, and we hope to write you in the course of a few days as some of the figures which would be required are already available. As regards comparing Motorine C with certain competitors oils, it is not quite clear from your letter whether you are wishful that we should furnish viscosity figures for our competitors oils as well as for Motorine C. Maybe you already have the necessary figures for our competitors oils, and only require our figures for our oil. We would be glad if you would clear up this point for us, and assuring you of our personal attention, We are, Yours truly, PRICE'S PATENT CANDLE COMPANY LIMITED. JWGBrooker | ||
