The vacuum control and starter both seem to be expiring. Cadillac's have started up quite a considerable supercharge campaign. Am sending you a drawing of the anti-friction plates in the Chrysler spring.

It is noticeable how sticky the Bentley steering gets with normal oil in cold weather. It is seven below zero to-day.
