| Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c By x872. Mx{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer}/McM4/T14.8.29 re Lubrication System With reference to your conversation with Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} this afternoon, regarding the lubrication of the clutch trunnion and the servo cams. At both these points the quantity of oil supplied is excessive, and we think the Luvax drip feeds could be reduced. We understand that you consider the S.O. type should be fitted; if so will you please arrange alteration to the L.O.P. so that chassis on test can be altered.
