X5480 X7480. 20/25 HP. and 40/50 HP. - AUTOMATIC CLUTCH SPIGOT LUBRICATION. ------------------------------------------- The Experimental Department have telephoned me to say that they are definitely of the opinion in view of their experience with automatic clutch spigot lubrication that we should abandon this entirely. This means we plug up the holes in the gearbox on both chassis as quickly as possible. The Works should be instructed to build up no more chassis with this arrangement. BY.{R.W.
