| X4337 Ms. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} x 4337 x 3898 GREASE GUN. With reference to the grease gun supplied by E.H. Hill. The latest grease gun supplied by these people is an improvement over their previous efforts but it still does not fulfil what we require. We find that the screw connection connected on to our standard lubricators is very difficult to operate, especially when one has a muddy car fitted with wings on the wheels and tries to connect up to our lubricator on the front springs. For their information we attach an advertisement showing the Alemite system. You might explain to them that we have found this to be best arrangement we have tested.
