| -11- Chapter VIII. Should be called "Clutch, Gearbox, Propeller Shaft and Rear Axle". (See earlier note). Fig.34. Revised lubrication of coupling. Fig.35. Reverse hand. (p.137 & 138.) Back axle: Believe we shall have simpler method of filling? Note: One of our troubles has been clutch pedal striking floor through wear of fabric. We now say (p.91) that pedal should lift at least 3/8". Should this not be stated? Chapter IX. (p.141) Steering arms and joints. Suggest undesirable to say that mechanism should be examined every 2000 miles or monthly for loose bolts etc. In practice this is certainly not done and not necessary. (p.142 143 144) Distinction between C.C.L. and front axle oiling system is now obsolete. (p.145) Oil for shock absorbers. Should we say Mobiloil K? (p.147) New method of oiling all three joints of the triangular connection from the front axle oil system. Chapter X. Water Pump. Revised illustrations. Doubts as to need of lubrication. (p.153) Item (d) Needs altering for automatic shutter. (p.154) Radiator shutters: Covered in earlier notes and now automatic. Suggest deletion. (p.155) Water level: Note re low level with ethylene glycol or glycerine. Delete sodium phosphate. (p.156) Frost: Suggest Chapter on "Cold weather running". (p.157) Fig.47. Reverse hand. Chapter XI. School of Instruction. Suggest referring to R.R.A.I. whether this chapter is desirable or not from their viewpoint. Some trouble has occurred when similar attempts were made in the past. cont'd. {John DeLooze - Company Secretary} | ||
