TESTS ON SPRING LUBRICATION. X8410

Take a road spring end gaiter and cut out pieces of felt to fit inside the gaiter.
(1) At the sides of the spring.
(2) Underneath the spring.

Take two fine copper pipes and run them from the lubricator as illustrated. We will then carry out experiments drilling oil holes in various places in this pipe.
