Cars and How to Drive Them, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Cars and How to Drive Them, Vol. 2

With the exception of the engine, however, and the bearings of the shafts in the gear-box - which are kept lubricated by the oil in the gear-box itself - lubrica tion is secured by proper grease cups, and on the dashboard a special Stauffer grease cylinder is fixed, which has three pipes - two leading to the end and outside bearings on the sprocket shaft, and the other forward to the pump. Each of these pipes is provided with a small tap, which renders it possible to force the grease to any one of the three bearings - or to all three - as it may be desired. A large screw operates the grease plunger.
