CHASSIS ENGINE OILS. We now enclose copies of four gummed slips relating to Chassis Engine Oils for insertion in current and certain older Instruction Books, the slips being marked as follows :- "Bentley Nos. I to V" "25/30 No. XVII and 20/25 No. XVI. "40/50 Nos. X and XI" Not marked:- Slip re Castrolite for Leaflet No. 60/40/50 in 40/50 Books Nos. X and XI. In addition to adding Duckham's oils we have corrected the Wakefield recommendations to tally with their recent alterations in viscosity and nomenclature. Also, we have brought up-to-date some of the other recommended grades of oils. We are arranging to insert these slips in all Instruction Books which leave here after May 1st. It is not proposed to send out these slips retrospectively, but it will be found useful to do so in cases where a client enquires regarding Wakefield's oils. Supplies of the slips are available. We are not sending the Rolls-Royce slips to Bly.{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales}, K.{Mr Kilner}, and the Bentley School of Instruction, nor yet are we sending the Bentley slip to Br.{T. E. Bellringer - Repair Manager} To Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}, Sr and JLE{J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager} we are sending a double quantity of these slips and to Bombay a triple quantity. N.W. | ||
