SERVO LUBRICATION We suggest that we bring 40/50HP in line with the 20/25HP and Bentley, in that we convert the lubrication scheme on the Servo Shaft to hand lubricator. We have just dealt with a case of brake inefficiency - 102-MY - Sales Trials, which was definitely due to the servo friction faces being oiled up due to excess lubrication. [Signature] | ||
