OIL FILLER FOR CRANKCASE.
-----------------------

There seems to be a general impression that
our oil filler is on the small side.

It certainly appears to me to be 'pimping',
and one would consider that something twice the diamter
is more like a reasonable proposal.

This applies to both chassis. [Struck through]

We think the 28 HP. should be modified.
