Daily hero award goes to "JSeery" above. A technically correct statement and someone who knows what W stands for! Yeah.
The 600W as noted above was for high temp steam cylinder applications because it is 100% lube with no additives at all. This is good for wet steam applications as the condensate is not carried into the lube via moisture sensitive additives. It is also still used in very heavy loaded worn gear applications(sliding contact) of slow speeds as in industrial applications. This is a case where additives actually degrade the performance of a product. 100% lube is all available for lubrication. A simple but special material even today.
Yes, there is no real application required today in these old cars, but the steering box is an ideal candidate.
Keep flying the "W" is for Winter flag.
