SS.{S. Smith} AND G4. CENTRAL OILING.
These little Bijur valves and restrictors do not seem very practical, but they will do for the present.
I suggested little air reservoirs, each of which would require a back pressure valve. One would think that the bearing might be its own restriction as in engine pressure system.
