It gives a minimum advance at 400 anda maximum advance at 1800 , the weight being lb. A transmission and drive lubricating system was ex-hibited by the Merchant & Evans Co. A gear type pumpis located in the rear axle housing, an oil reservoir on theforward side of the dashboard and a sight feed or circu-lation indicator on the instrument board. The oil fromthe reservoir passes through the transmission, the hollowpropeller shaft and the hollow bevel pinion shaft into thedifferential housing. While the car is standing there is a OIL SIGHT GLASSNTILLER CAP. Fig. 3—Splitdorf automatic advance coupling tendency for the oil to flow toward the rear by gravityand when it is first started up the oil level in the differ-ential housing is somewhat above normal. As soon as thecar is started the pump delivers some of this oil throughthe circulation indicator to the reservoir, movement of theoil continuing until the level in the differential housingfalls below the pump inlet. The indicator therefore willshow oil flow only for a short period after starting the of the advantages claimed for the system is that bymaintaining a constant oil level in the rear axle housingoil leakage from theaxle is prevented. Inorder to apply it to acar it is necessary thatthe universal joints aswell as other parts lub-ricated be first filling thesystem the oil shouldpreferably be heated, asit will then flow morefreely. It is necessaryto add about a pint ofoil to the supply in thetank every month. Atest plug is located inthe
