A Wealth of Historic Texaco Papers

[Jimbo]

Chevron Corp. has an archive of Texaco Lubrication Magazines dating back to 1920! Subjects covered include aviation, railroad, industrial, as well as automotive, truck and bus and refining technology. Want to know in detail how a Buick Dynaflow transmission worked and about Texamatic Fluid? Its there.

I used to read this regularly and had a lot of them when I worked at an electric generating station. Mostly read about turbine oils, but also motor oils. A good source of info....

Anybody save any of these to their computer before they were locked down? I used that link since it still works and its pretty easy to see their file format. Im copying as many as I can to my webserver.

http://colt45.ws/misc/texaco/ I have Volume 6 through Volume 11. 1920-1925. I ran across a change of url format after that.

Like some of the ads they put on the last page or two. Nice tech write-up for 1920s.
