Maggard, James H.

"Rough and Tumble Engineering"

" Now boys,
these are things worth heeding. I have actually known threshing crews
to lose good customers simply because of their dirty clothes. The women
kicked and they had a right to kick. But to return to hard grease and
suitable cups for same.
In attaching these grease cups on boxes not previously arranged for
them, it would be well for you to know how to do it properly. You will
remove the journal, take a gouge and cut a clean groove across the box,
starting in at one corner, about I/8 of an inch from the point of box
and cut diagonally across coming out at the opposite corner on the other
end of box. Then start at the opposite corner and run through as
before, crossing the first groove in the center of box. Groove both
halves of box the same, being careful not to cut out at either end, as
this will allow the grease to escape from box and cause unnecessary
waste. The chimming or packing in box should be cut so as to touch the
journal at both ends of box, but not in the center or between these two
points. So, when the top box is brought down tight, this will form
another reservoir for the grease.
