Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} At gradients up to 1 in 4 1/2 oil is thrown by the sliding 2nd., speed pinion on-to the servo worm. At steeper gradients lubrication is again by drip from the lid.{A. J. Lidsey} The new gearbox is therefore no worse off for lubrication than the present one.
