| DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to EY. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} X5410 R2/M14.4.28. INDIA 3. CENTRAL OILING X.3806 X.5350 CONNECTION TO BACK AXLE. X.840 X.5410 N.Sch.2565 - I do not like the coiled tube. Could we not put the oil pressure direct on to this pin (front end of rear spring), then take a connection off the spring eye in the centre. True the pin may be overoiled, but the spare could go into the gaiter. Anyway a good fitting pin ought not to leak much. This oiling scheme will in time become simpler. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
