Series I to IIIA Models
The bush bearings used in this relay lever assembly
are of the" Clevite" type which require periodical
lubrication.
The bush bearings are pressed into the support
bracket so the ends having the start and finish
oi the lubrication groove are towards the
lubrication nipple In the centre of the support
bracket and until the outer ends of the bush
bearings are flush with the two end faces of the
support bracket.
Series IV Models onwards
The bush bearings used in this relay lever assembly
are of the P.T.F.E. type and do not require periodical
lubrication.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE BEARING SURFACE
IS NOT DISTURBED BY THE SPIGOT OF THE
PRESSING TOOL OR BY REAMING OR
SCRAPING.
The bush bearings are pressed into the support
bracket so the outer ends are just below the two
end faces of the support bracket, without dis­
turbing the bearing surface of the bush
bearing.
