Myers Co., Ltd., Dolhen Street, London, B.E.1, to point out that the Redex material is still produced in undiminished quantities for general usage by goods-.and passenger= transport „vehicles, together with marine and industrial operators who employ i.e. engines, also by service agents. In other-words, suspension of the company's advertising does not imply any unavailability, that is due to the fact that the bigger companies in

To mitigate valve trouble caused by high-octane fuel, it is found that the normal sump-oil treatment is just as effective as the treatment of the fuel, but where ignition ;timing does not correspond to the octane rating or to the condition of the engine, it should be precision-set with the Redex engine tester, The company maintains a staff of local servicemen and visiting engineers. available in practically all parts of the country.
