Referring to the point we raised the other day in discussing the question of lubricating the joint, the Experimental Department are of the opinion that a real difficulty exists in regard to filling the joint, and they therefore are suggesting to R. {Sir Henry Royce} that we should use the same Enots lubricator for these joints that we used on the old 20 HP. The lubricator in question would replace one of the plugs at present fitted. Would you kindly arrange to make this modification to the drawing. BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} BY | ||
