| contd :- -2- 10,000 miles shewed that it is adequate under such conditions, operation of the pump cold is more satisfactory. Will you therefore please see that each morning the car is taken out one stroke is given to the pump, and one every 100 miles as heretofore. I hope the consignment of Castrol R.{Sir Henry Royce} has arrived. This should be used on the system. The lubrication of the front axle should be carried out every 500 miles. There should be no necessity to leave the Enots gun on after the pressure has been reached, reservoirs being provided in the front axle. Small brass reservoirs are provided in place of drip plug caps on the rear axle. This also should be lubricated every 500 miles and the gun immediately removed when the pressure stalls.
