As the engine rests in the chassis on a three-degre angle, ^ sloping to the rear, the oil arriving in the valve chamber flows back, filling the first reservoir; then over the little dam, tilling the second reservoir, and then over again to the third and last reservoir. From this point the over flow oil is can led by an external pipe down to the front end of the oil pan in the crankcase where it flows back over the pan, filling, the troughs through which the connect ing rods are lubricated and from which all other moving parts are sprayed by the splash system. From the pan the oil flows to the bottom of the case to be pumped back again. Th's rather unique system of en gine lubrication is responsible in large measure for the excellent per formance of the motor at a wide range of speeds and under all Cli matic conditions.
