Sperm Whales and the Automatic Transmission? Yep . . .

In the US, whale oil was used in cars as an additive to automatic transmission fluid until it was banned by the Endangered Species Act. Prior to 1972, over 30 million pounds of Sperm Whale oil was used annually in lubricants because of its exceptional lubricity and heat stability.

The promise of playing LPs with zero wear - The Finial Laser Turntable, 1986. The unit above is a prototype. The product never went further than that.

It was also used in the original formula for RUSTOLEUM paints.
