| HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} C.c. to EJ. [struck through] WOB [struck through] DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} [struck through] PY [struck through] ORIGINAL R3/M31.10.28. LUBRICATION OF FRONT AXLE. X7420 X3806 With the single point system of lubricating the complete front axle unit, I think we should arrange a small air vessel so that the operator will be able to inject a small quantity of oil under pressure into the system - say a cub. in. With this scheme there should be a slow feed of lubricant through all the restrictions after getting in motion on the road. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
