pinion bracket and therefore ensure positive lubrication of this part. We further offer the suggestion that the lubricating port in the vacuum pump cyl. could be arranged to give more oil discharge so that it would fall on to the conn. rod eccentric and provide better lubrication to this part.

We think it would be advisable to consider means of getting more oil to these parts than we at present obtain.
