London is perhaps the best sample we have received, but this is still in a stage of development and we could not at present recommend it for standardisation.

We are fitting up an Experimental car with the "Alemite" system of lubrication in which we have arranged the lubricating holes so that the grease is always applied from the pressure side and does not leak straight through.
