| X-18/22911 September 22nd 1911 Mr Nadin 22/9/11 RE LUBRICATION OF CAM MECHANISM WITH MAKE AND BRAKE CONTACT. Confirming consultation with you the other day to the effect that some improvement should be fitted as regards lubrication to this mechanism, we having in several cases had examples of cams wearing badly owing to want of lubrication. The suggestion was that the lubricator which was fixed to supply oil to the bottom ball bearing could be refixed to supply oil to the cam. | ||
