| BY C. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} V3552 EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}/10/H11.4.24. 20-HP. LUBRICATION OF STARTER BENDIX GEAR. We are still not satisfied that the above is receiving proper attention, and it has been brought to our attention that awkwardness now exists as regards this lubrication. It is difficult at present when the engine is in position in the frame to dismantle the plug through which the oil should be injected, and we suggest for your consideration that some easier scheme of lubrication should be arranged such as an oil lubricator or an Enots lubricator through which oil can be easily injected on to the Bendix gear.
