| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to BJ. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} 43806 R3/M31.10.28. LUBRICATION OF FRONT AXLE. X.7420 X.3806 With the single point system of lubricating the complete front axle unit, I think we should arrange a small air vessel so that the operator will be able to inject a small quantity of oil under pressure into the system - say a cu.in. With this scheme there should be a slow feed of lubricant through all the restrictions after getting in motion on the road. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
