LUBRICATION OF FRONT AXLE. X.7420
X.3806

With the single point system of lubricating the complete front axle unit, I think we should arrange a small air vessel so that the operator will be able to inject a small quantity of oil under pressure into the system - say a cu.in.

With this scheme there should be a slow feed of lubricant through all the restrictions after getting in motion on the road.
