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. If the box is not tapped directly in
the center for cup, it will be necessary to cut other grooves from where
it is tapped into the grooves already made. A box prepared in his way
will require but little attention if you use good grease.



A HOT BOX

You will sometimes get a hot box. What is the best remedy? Well, I
might name you a dozen, and if I did you would most likely never have
one on hand when it was wanted. So will only give you one, and that is
white lead and oil, and I want you to provide yourself with a can of
this useful article. And should a journal or box get hot on your hands
and refuse to cool with the usual methods, remove the cup, and after
mixing a portion of the lead with oil, put a heavy coat of it on the
journal, put back the cup and your journal will cool off very quickly.
Be careful to keep all grit or dust out of your can of lead. Look after
this part of it yourself. It is your business.
