| -2- Contd. In conclusion, we think there is little to complain about this joint if well managed, and the bodywork well arranged. At the same time Mr. Stent will be sending instructions for various modifications to the jointt to improve its efficiency as regards oil retention. Our joint is better than others of its type, which usually have leather gaiters that are a nuisance, and cannot retain as much oil as ours at 2000/3000 revs. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
