Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} points out that he has had complaints from customers owing to excess oil from the front pivots which when it finally exhudes from the lower pivot, bearing, drops on to the tyre. It is suggested that some kind of drain should be arranged to ensure the oil dripping clear of the tyre. Possibly you will be able to give us some help in this direction. BY. {R.W.
