VW Of Australia oil temperature bulletin from the 50's

Ok, lets face it. All of us knucklehead, air cooled classic folks probably worry too much about our engine oil temperatures. EVERYONE has an opinion on what's 'normal' or what's 'acceptable' in regards to oil temperatures as we're happily (ok, we're sweating) motoring down the freeway in hot summer time temperatures. I won't vomit out all the numbers as most of us have read about these numbers ad nauseam already.
A few years ago, IN2VWS on The Samba posted this VW of Australia service bulletin from the 50's when someone was freaking out about 230* oil temperatures on his new engine. The poster on The Samba felt his motor was in immanent danger of a catastrophic melt down. So, I saw IN2VW's on line today and he was kind enough to send the bulletin to me again. It's an interesting read.
