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. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} By [Stamp: RECEIVED 26 JAN 1931] | ||
