 who both built the side-car and did most of the work on the bike.<br /><br />Fred had several modifications, one of which was to the oiling, which originally was \x22Total Loss\x22 by means of a hand pump (lever on right handlebar) contained in the castali oil tank below the engine. This could easily flood the engine with oil, so Fred cut a large hole about 1\x22 diameter in both crankcase and tank, sealed the gap with a rubber ring, and let the oil drain back to the tank. Large breathers were added to cope with crankcase compression.<br /><br />It is not generally known that there was an ingenious telltale metering valve for the oil supply. This is in the petrol tank near the front. When the spring loaded pump is delivering, the telltale knob lifts. Rotating the knob brings succession of different size holes into line with the outlet, ranging from almost nil to full-bore.<br /><br />The attention to detail is worth note, as no bolt is used where a tube and split pin can serve, all bolts where it was permissible are hollow, all frame lugs are scarfed and tapered to the limit. Mudguards were of aluminium, wheel rims of special alloy and very light, and extensive use of special steel alloys even permitted the rear wheel spindle to be \x22waisted\x22 down to 3/8\x22 between threaded portions.<br />'))
