| To Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} , from DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} X.3806 DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 2/M28.5.27. CENTRAL LUBRICATION X.3806 You mentioned petroflex as a possible material for making the connections between the frame and the moving parts like the axle. Could you send us a sample and some further information about this material? Is there any other flexible tubing which could be relied upon to carry oil for a reasonable length of time. We appreciate that it will probably be necessary to make these connections easily detachable so that they can be renewed at fixed intervals. DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
