| Contd. -3- With reference to the oil leakage from the universal joint. We have proved on the Test Bench that if we remove the aluminium dust cover and run the Joint we get no oil leakage. It appears as though a thin film of oil is continually being soaked up by the felt washer and then flung out. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
