As I understand, however, that experiments are now coming through as regards obtaining quieter side shafts I shall be glad if the question of thickness of oil can be considered and the points settled at the same time that any new feature is recommended for standardisation. I shall be glad to hear what has been arranged on this matter. EP.{G.
