Seen this chaps?
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Arie ... 0675.m4236
The 'Ariel' font on the cover looks authentic, but the text inside suggests it is an over-printed suppliers publication. Perhaps some Ariel supplied to customers on request?
Might be interesting to someone.

Re: Running In Guide
Judging by the back page which has reference to 'Dag Colloidal graphite' on every answer ,it is one of their publications

Re: Running In Guide
What if this seller has found a box full books and printed Ariel on the front, there is no Ariel link inside

Re: Running In Guide
I would imagine Achesons produced them and either overprinted the Ariel logo or gave them to Ariel to do. I wouldn't actually think colloidal graphite was an ideal substance to use when running in myself....
Interestingly, Achesons still exist as a subsidiary of ICI and produce something called Aquadag. DAG means Deflocculated Acheson Graphite apparently......

Re: Running In Guide
So it's an advertisement, like, Ariel on cover.

Re: Running In Guide
Yes, it looks to be an advertising brochure.
But we're told on the back page that colloidal graphite "is so fine that it is used for injection into the breathing tubes of mosquitos". Irrelevant trivia to be sure, but does anyone know why someone would bother injecting graphite into the breathing tubes of mosquitoes?

Re: Running In Guide
I have possibly the same publication with Royal Enfield logo s......Its genuine cause it came with some other books like Dunlops caring for tyres,and a ACU booklet on road safety....with a 1954 Connie.....I never knew what "dag" meant before....there was "oildag" and also "molydag".....both great anti seizure compunds.....and it has the same trivia about mosquito s.
