The pore points as reproduced from the U.S. Naval Technical Mission to Japan report X-38(N)-8, page 13 are obviously ineorreetly stated because the negative signs are missing. 

The Japanese produced FT product at the Miike Synthetic Oil Company located in Omuta and were in the process of constructing an adjoining a lubricating oil facihty that was not completed before the end of the war. Laboratory evaluation of lubricants prepared from FT oils were performed in the laboratory. Although the U. S. Naval Technical Mission Reports provide data derived from these evaluations, the data are sparse and obviously incomplete likely due to the fact that the technical files of the Japanese Research Institute were destroyed in August 1945. The available data show that for the FT derived lubricating oils the best antioxidant was a combination of triphenylphosphite and chromium oleate. 

The review prepared by the U. S. Naval Technical Mission is undoubtedly incomplete since the technical files of this institute, which employed some 3,200 men and comprised over 70 modem buildings, were burned 1 August 1945 by order of the Director of the Depot. The Technical Mission ordered approximately 100 of the technical personnel to return to the institute to reproduce from notebooks, personal files, memory and other sources, reports in English covering all of their research activities during the war period.
