| Empress High Pressure Lubricating System Easily Operated With other systems, two hands are absolutely necessary to perform the operations required to lubricate—attaching the gun to the connection, screwing down the plunger to force the lubricant to the bearing and disconnecting. With the Empress High Pressure Lubricating System there are no connections to be made and disconnected and the pressure necessary to force the lubricant into the bearing is built up in the gun before applying to the connection. Convenient The Empress connections are fitted with a spring cover easily snapped open with the gun nozzle. The caps revolve, being readily turned to facilitate lubricating from any position. No easily mislaid removable dust caps to be taken off. No open check valve connections to clean each time the lubricant is applied. The caps are always with the connections, being easily opened and closed without mutilation. [Image Caption 1] As used to lubricate the Rear Spring Shackles. One hand operates it.
