Bentley / Mr Barrington} 21/W20.8.19. RE LUBRICATIONOF CONTROL SPHERE ON 40/50 HP. CHASSIS. Some weeks ago I think we agreed that it would be useful to ascertain how far the chassis runs before all the loose oil on the Control Sphere is lost. Have we got any further with this ? And Don't you think we might ask Mr. Day to get out an oil lead from the Control Sphere to the side of the frame as discussed ? L.V Bn. {W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} | ||
