. Automotive industries . levers or cams with contact only on the forwardface of the bearing casing are used the latter is free torotate with the clutch, so that the bearing runs only whenthe clutch is disengaged, and not continuously as in theother type. Obviously the bearing will require less lubri-cation if it runs only when the clutch is disengaged. Itcan in this case be packed with enough grease to last formany thousand of miles, while in the other case it requiresfrequent lubrication, and a grease cup is often provided,this cup being placed above the floor boards in some case

In the Kissel car an oillead was carried to a point near the rear engine cylinderwhere an oil cup was fitted, the idea apparently being tomake it easy to oil the clutch bearing whenever valves orother parts under the hood are oiled. Apparently chassis designers are mostly men withmedium length legs, otherwise more frequent arrangementwould be made for adjusting the pedals to accommodate.
