| Roy{Sir Henry Royce}: X1282 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}8/KW.31.7.34. We understand from the Shell-Mex people that our Order No. 67898 for 50 gallons of mixture was put in for Ethyl Benzole. Actually this should be Shell No. 1 Benzole, as we are not using lead on this racing entry. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
