re. 40/50 HP. Exhaust Butterfly Valve Squeaking

Further to our EP {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} 4/H15.4.26. we have now received information from 'N' reading as follows:-

"The makers of Graphol are Messrs. G.D.Peters & Co. Ltd., Caxton House, Westminster, S.W. 1.
We do not say that this is a permanent cure for squeaks from Exhaust butterfly valve, but so far, we have found this material to be the most effective way of dealing with the same."
