VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Wakefield Castrol motor oil, celebrating the setting of the world's height record. The ad boasts that Castrol was used to lubricate the Bristol "Jupiter" engine of an Italian Military airplane piloted by Sig. Donati, who reached a height of 11, 827 meters on December 22nd, surpassing the previous world record by 682 meters. It also mentions another achievement where Commander Mario di Bernardi broke the World's Air Speed Record at a speed of 296. 9 mph using Castrol oil and references Major Segrave's Land Speed Record of 203 mph with the same lubricant. The ad suggests that these records are no coincidence and implies that experts consistently choose Wakefield Castrol Motor Oil for its reliability and performance in extreme conditions. The top right corner features what appears to be a crest or logo associated with C. C. Wakefield & Co. , Ltd. , while at the bottom right corner we see their address: Wakefield House, Cheapside, London E. C. 2. The advertisement uses bold text to emphasize achievements associated with their product and includes decorative elements such as borders around certain sections of text to draw attention to key points.
