The matter has been gone into further with our Engineering Division and we have instructed our Warehouse to forward you, free of charge, two gallons Gargoyle Mobilgrease to enable you to carry out a test with this product as we feel sure that it will be found quite suitable. We look forward to the favour of your advices after you have had an opportunity of carrying out a trial and hope that you will at the same time be able to signify your intention of recommending it. With thanks in anticipation. Yours faithfully, WD{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}/SK. VACUUM OIL COMPANY LIMITED. Handwritten: 42066. Stamp: RECEIVED 6 DEC 1929 SH | ||
