GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) - LUBRICATION OF PEDAL COUNTERSHAFT X.4267.
Please receive N.sch.1296 shewing the suggestions for providing lubrication for the pedal countershaft.
We believe that lubrication by oil will be preferred to syringing grease; however, if the latter is desired the same collars could be used, and Enots Greaser Nozzles screwed in instead of the lubricators, the other modification required being to block up the inner end of the stationary tube and drill holes from the collars through the tube.
