The oscillatory behaviour of the solutions of a functional differential equation, of more general form than an equation arising from in industrial problem, is examined. The question of whether one can maintain the oscillatory properties of this equation by adding a forcing term is also answered. The results obtained extend already known results on the subject and complete the relevant literature.
