    349 A.2d 609.
    Sco-Mar, Inc. vs. Rhode Island Tool Company, Inc.
    JANUARY 13, 1976.
    Present: Paolino, Joslin and Kelleher, JJ.
    
      A.bedon & Visconti Ltd., Girard R. Visconti, for plaintiff.
    
      Stephen A. Fanning, Joseph V. Cavanagh, Jr., for defendant.
   Per Curiam.

In our opinion, the disputed provision of the writing in question is susceptible of more than one meaning. Evidence of prior or contemporaneous oral statements was therefore admissible to aid in its interpretation and was not barred by the parol evidence rule. Farrell v. Meadowbrook Corp., 111 R. I. 747, 749, 306 A.2d 806, 807 (1973); Hawkins v. Smith, 105 R. I. 669, 674-76, 254 A.2d 747, 751-52 (1969); Supreme Woodworking Co. v. Zuckerberg, 82 R. I. 247, 252, 107 A.2d 287, 290 (1954). Inasmuch as the explanatory evidence here admitted supports the result reached in the Superior Court, the defendant’s appeal must be denied and dismissed, and the judgment appealed from affirmed.

Mr. Chief Justice Roberts participated in the argument but not in the decision. Mr. Justice Doris did not participate.
