| REF. 37 (vi) 29th Sept. 1911. Z 5/2 Mr. Bailey 29-9-11 A point which should be kept in mind for future attention is that our Universal Joint between the engine and gear box does not retain oil as satisfactorily as desired. A better scheme might be considered for fixing the end caps by studs instead of the present screw threads. | ||
