| FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} to BB. WDR. AERO CONNECTING RODS (1) I am sure the trouble is loss of oil by rolling. (2) Is it better with forked or articulated rods? (3) Is it better with Kelmit or whitemetal? (4) Is it better with hard or soft shaft? (5) Try to find a practical scheme which maintains the oil when inverted.
