PHANTOM 11. LUBRICATION OF CLUTCH SPIGOT BEARING.

Herewith we send N. scheme 2973. shewing a method of lubricating the clutch spigot bearing automatically from the gearbox.

There is a slight modification to the gearbox 1st. motion shaft, and there is also a boss on the gearbox casting to be added.

It is suggested that care should be taken to make oiltight joints between the clutchdriven member and the housings of the universal joint.

There is a slight modification to the shoes and drum of the clutch brake.
