Mr. Day gives us a suggestion for
carrying the centralised oiling from the shackle
pin in between the plates.

I think this is an excellent idea and
should be patented if possible at once.

Mr. Day will say what names should be
included in the patent - i.e. if anyone has helped him.

Figs. 3 and 4 seem the best, and it would
be commercially a good policy to do it thoroughly.
