| X.3806 To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to BJ. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DAL/M27.8.27. CENTRALISED CHASSIS LUBRICATION. TORQUE TUBE BEARING. We send herewith N.sch.2453 shewing the method of lubricating the bearing and joint in the centre of the torque tube. America say lubrication from this point is very successful, and as it is a very simple alteration we suggest it should be tried. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
