| X.4235. Extract from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG5.10.21. OIL FILLER FOR REAR AXLE. X.4235. 20 HP. We think we should try and avoid the necessity of having to get inside the body to fill the rear axle with oil. It is not nice to carry oil into a delicately uphol- stered body. We consider that there is room on this car for a filler low down which will be reasonably accessible. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
