In this test, pressure is applied until the oil passes through the system and comes out through the bearings.

On suspensions recently tested there is not the slightest delay in oil reaching the bottom bearing and showing out-side in good volume, once the passage has been forced, although on the first application of the grease gun oil does not flow right through the system in less than 10 to 15 mins time.

The yoke has been checked over for size and position of the oil holes and found to be correct to drawing.
