| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [redacted] X4595 EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}2/H11.7.24. re. KATALITE. With reference to the communications from Springfield with regard to the above, reference Oy6/E/51624 of May 16th. if you have any interest in this I am quite prepared to agree to it being tried out on my 4-cylinder Buick car. Is there any Depot in England where this work can be carried out and when could it be done? What type of fuel is it which Oy. refers to as non-detonating fuel? Does he refer to the ordinary Benzol mixture or is there now some special mixture on the market? EP.{G.
