Automatic Oiler
Oil is kept at a. constant level in the crankcase of a motor-car or other petrol engine by an automatic gravity feed now on the A.merican market. A float in the system drops with the oil level, opening a valve, which lets lubricant flow from the reserve tank into the crankcase until the normal level is restored. The float, control rod then presses n, ball on the scat shut-off to stop the flow. Vibration of tho engine is neutralised, so far as tho oil feed is concerned, by a tension spring pressing on tho top side of the float-control rod.
