LUBRICATION OF REVERSE.
ALL SYNCHRO MESH GEARBOXES.

Herewith we send N.sch.3385 shewing a further development of the method of lubricating the reverse shaft on the above gearboxes, which is to supersede those already sent you.

It should be applied to all the gearboxes but if you have a shaft already made, say for the 25 HP., we do not think it is necessary to delay the test in order to effect this alteration.
