From this oil pocket the [[lubricant]] is distributed to the rollers and the bearing surfaces by an ingenious system. Four oil holes carry the lubricating fluid from the oil pocket to a large felt distributing washer, which in turn keeps the bearings properly oiled. The system is neatly worked out, and, owing to the construction of the bearing, it is impossible for any oil to be thrown out of the clutch bearing, or for any to leak out.

The new bearing is really an important improvement, because in many cases riders would overlook the lubricating of the old style clutch bearing, partly owing to the fact that it required lubricant so seldom, and would thus impose undue hardship upon the clutch. With the new system, which is so easy to handle, it is certain that the clutch bearing will never be allowed to run dry. A few drops of oil every thousand miles will meet all requirements.
