Good afternoon to you all....
Following on from my previous 'post' on the Forum I'm still lacking a decent photo' of the RedeX Lubrocharger reservoir. The reservoir is basically a container with two 'caps'; one cap has a feed to the lubrocharger metering gauge (mounted on the dash), the other cap has a measuring stick attached to it, which, when removed tell the driver how much RedeX he has used on his mad dash along England's road.....

Thank you for the link, however the Lubrocharger shown in the photo is probably dating from the 50's, the Lubrocharger I'm seeking a photo of dates from the 30's. I have a small drawing of it in an old Practical Motorist magazine but it is not good enough to be included in Part 2of the RedeX Saga I'm writing.

I'm still looking for a picture of the Lubrocharger as seen in the Practical Motorist July 1939 (!). It is a custom made container with adapters on the sides for the RedeX injectors. The container is marked Lubrocharger with the RedeX brand name on the bottom of the container.
For it to work there was a press button assembly on the cars dash board which, when pressed, injected a small quantity of RedeX into the engine via the inlet manifold.
If any one knows of anybody who worked for Wayne V Myers & Co, the RedeX producers or any surviving members of the Myers family I would like to contact them (with their permission of course).

A question?

Does any O.C.C Forum members live in or around Stretford Manchester?

If so, maybe he/she can help me....

Up until a few months ago I was contacting Holt Auto (Unit 100. Barton Dock Road, Stretford) and keeping them up-to-date with my RedeX research. They have stopped replying to my emails in spite of showing interest in my research, I also phoned the company this afternoon and all I got was a ceased telephone line noise.
I'm probably pushing my luck re asking Forum members to go and bang on their door but if you are passing Unit 100, Barton Dock Road take a'look-see' for me............................please!
