The timing gears run in a FLOOD of oil, dumped over from the oil reservoir from what looks like a chunk, broken out of the front reservoir wall!

(Sumbody must have been wurried about enough oil to the gears on Minerva. Someone put a 1/16" tubing, running from the block pressure outlet, to a drilled bolt in the side timing cover!
Somewhere, I read that it was a FIX for poor oiling on OLD FORD TRACTORS???)
