| -2- The method employed to prevent oil leakage is rather complicated, and as can be seen on the attached drawing, requires four rubber or composition glands, the large outer gland being rather crudely secured by a "Jubilee" clip. The cylinder casting is very light, and appears to be made in magnesium alloy. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/W.Bell. | ||
