ORIGINAL
CENTRALISED CHASSIS LUBRICATION. TORQUE TUBE BEARING. X/3806
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.
