| V3806 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gyl/MJ. July 5th.1929 Messrs.C.C.Wakefield & Co.Ltd., Wakefield House, 30-32, Cheapside E.C.2. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr.Evans. Our Drawing Office are urgently pressing for information with regard to the oil you recommend for use in the gear box of our cars. It is probable that unless we shortly receive some recommendation that the instruction book will have to go to press without your gear box oil being advised. You will have noted from previous correspondence that such an oil must be suitable for central lubrication in addition. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gy. | ||
