A further advantage of a packed wick of some sort is that it makes it unnecessary to produce a seal against the oil at the joints of the gaiter. 3. Means of lubrication We think an oil hole with some sort of cover is superior to a pressure-gun connection, because the latter can be used with grease or heavy oil, whereas the former implies the use of thin oil. All this works in favor of the Jeavons or Menard gaiters. Oy. M. {Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Olley | ||
