VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Castrol Motor Oil, specifically endorsing its use in de Havilland Gipsy Moth aeroplanes. The ad features text and images arranged in an early 20th-century style. The top of the ad reads "The de Havilland Aircraft Co. , Ltd. , manufacturers of GIPSY MOTH Aeroplanes Use and Recommend Wakefield CASTROL Motor Oil. " Below this header are two sections with detailed information. On the left side, there's a description of the Gipsy Engine, noting its speed at 1, 900 R. P. M. and maximum output at 100 H. P. It also mentions fuel consumption rates and efficiency metrics such as "0. 55 pints per B. H. P. -hour" for oil consumption. In the center is an image showcasing four views of what appears to be a Gipsy engine: front view, side view, top view, and sectional view through one cylinder bank. To the right is a statement from The de Havilland Aircraft Co. , Ltd. , attesting to exhaustive tests carried out on Castrol motor oil which led them to exclusively recommend it for their aircraft engines both in summer (Castrol 'XXL') and winter (Castrol 'R'), including under normal conditions or racing purposes. At the bottom of the advertisement is C. C. WAKEFIELD & CO. , LTD. 's branding as an all-British firm located at Wakefield House, Cheapside London E. C. 2 The overall tone suggests reliability and high performance associated with both Castrol oil products and de Havilland aircraft during that era.
