In case it is desired to flood the crank-pin with water or cylinderoil, as in the case of a hot bearing, the oil cup can be taken offwhile the engine is running at full speed and the nozzle of a hoseapplied. It is claimed by the manufacturer, with apparently goodfoundation, that water applied to the outside of a hot bearing con-. IMPROVED CRANK-PIN OILER tracts the brasses so that they bind and make matters worse. Bypouring water into the regular lubricating channels, the crank-pinis cooled first and there is less tendency to bind. Where a pres-sure oiling system is in use the connection can be made directlyto the pendulum to which the oil cup is normally attached. TheE. P. Allis Company, C. & G.
