| FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} S E C R E T C. to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} "SS{S. Smith}" CENTRAL LUBRICATION. REAR DAMPER CONNECTING ROD. X3806 X7520 Herewith we send N. sch. 2658. shewing the methods of lubricating the ball end and connecting rod on the rear shock damper with N. schs. 2651. and 2652. respectively. The question of the intermingling of the two kinds of oil must have arisen on the existing central chassis lubrication, and it is possible that there are already some indications as to whether it is detrimental or not.
