| OY. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gy. X3806 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gy2/LG2.5.29. CENTRAL LUBRICATION OF CHASSIS. We have heard that American Manufacturers are now deciding not to fit a complete lubricating system supplying oil to the axles from a central point, and that the tendencies are all towards a 3-point lubricated car. In view of your success reported in previous memos, we should like to have your opinion about this tendency. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/F.Gaye. | ||
