| - 7 - There is no outside provision made for lubrication. It is intended to be filled with oil or grease. one blade of the wipers fell off, the belt having become loose. FRONT ENGINE MOUNTING DISMANTLED. We have found that the dropping of the front end of the engine, has been caused by the bonding of the two front support tubes. It must have been caused by a sudden shock of the engine weight, probably when striking a very bad patch of road. The cross bridge piece between the two supports was approximately ;125 out of line with the centre of the crankshaft starting dog.
