TECALEMIT CHASSIS LUBRICATOR.

It seems, from the data already obtained, that the best way to operate this unit is through an impulse coupling and low speed drive. It appears to be possible to make this in a simple manner.

A disadvantage of this unit is that it only has six feeds, whereas about eleven are required on B.V. With the object of obviating a second unit, will you please find out if it is possible to use two bijur metering valves in one pipe line, and to obtain equal discharges from both orifices. As the pressure can read 100 lbs/sq.in. with the impulse coupling already constructed, it is theoretically possible to split the lines in this manner.
