| contd:- -2- The addition of this pressing makes a tremendous improvement in the oil retaining. The little thrower on the shaft is to stop the oil running down the shaft when the joint stops revolving. We have fitted this arrangement to two 40/50 experimental cars. Anything that can be done to improve the oil retaining qualities in the Universal Joint, will be a great saving on the wear and tear and also Repair Bills. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
