Herewith we send N.Scheme 2973 shewing a method of lubricating the clutch spigot bearing automatically from the gearbox. There is a slight modification to the gearbox 1st motion shaft, and thereis also a boss on the gearbox casting to be added. It is suggested that care should be taken to make oil-tight joints between the clutch driven member and the housings of the universal joint. There is a slight modification to the shoes and drum of the clutch brake. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
