interested in is the rate at which an axle can lose oil
through a leak of this nature.

Having discovered this, we should like to know
if the vented axle plug will cure it.
24-EX.
The axle on Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 's car has all the latest modifications
on, so this is really the final one to test, to see if we
have produced a cure.

We are anxiously waiting to hear that you are
satisfied with the centre point lubrication system.
