| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} From DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} X.3806 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M30.4.27. CENTRAL LUBRICATION. We have discussed this with R.{Sir Henry Royce} and he very much prefers the Enots 'Bowen' system to the Bijur. He would like you to obtain specimen pieces of the Enots system for examination and test. We suggest that you should get a pump, and a few specimens of the distributing fittings so that we can get an idea of the quality of the design, after which they could be fitted up and tested, so that we should gain information before doing any design work ourselves. Among the fittings which would be of interest to us, because of their difficulty, are those used to convey the lubrication to the front axle. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
