Kdolman, supor flsor ot marine lubricant salon for tho Associated OH Company, who contlmicsif "Tho navy test, run In especial ly designed biiulpment, Is most oxhauollvo, and fur an oil to bo ho looted thus In competition with numerous other makos of oil, Is a decided compliment to that oil's quality and performance. "Careful physical and chemical tests nro first mado to determine the following properties; viscosity, neutralization number, precipita tion number and carbon residue.
