Hdy.{William Hardy} Bentley Clutch Operation - Flexible Engine. We understand that the anchor link on the clutch operation shews signs of leak of lubrication, and that it is desirable to connect it to the C.C.L'n. Herewith is N. Sch.4383 which shews a suggestion for applying a dip plug to the fulcrum of the anchor link. The bearing at the other end of the link could be lubricated by drilling up the link, but it does not seem necessary as oil is sure to reach the lower from the upper end.
