CHASSIS LUBRICATION.
There are various points on a chassis which are not readily accessible with an oilcan but which, at the same time, require fairly regular lubrication. A good way out of the difficulty is to obtain a small paint brush with a short handle which can be secured to a length of stiff wire, or thrust into the end of a piece of copper tube. The "business end" of the brush can then be bent at any convenient angle to enable it to reach awkward places. The part to be lubricated should first be well covered with paraffin, applied with the brush, and, after being allowed a little time to soak well into the joint, the paraffin is followed by a liberal quantity of used engine oil, also applied with the brush. It will be found that paraffin, being a very penetrating oil, will carry the engine oil with it into the joint.
