Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn. {Mr Robinson} 4/KJ.30.4.30.Contd.

interested in is the rate at which an axle can lose oil through a leak of this nature.

Having discovered this, we should like to know if the vented axle plug will cure it.

The 24-EX axle on/Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 's car has all the latest modifications on, so this is really the final one to test, to see if we have produced a cure.

We are anxiously waiting to hear that you are satisfied with the centre point lubrication system.
