Such a tool can be purchased from Rotherhams, providing they make us a special tube and nipple. I shall be glad if you will send me one as soon as ever you can produce on.e. It should, however, be examined by a practical man, and passed by Mr. Hives as suitable for all positions in which we desire to use grease. I refer to such parts as spring shackels, shock absorber joints etc. A tool I think of great utility is a small pair of gas pliers. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
