I agree with Lynn, almost certainly to throw oil up onto the rest of the gears when first starting and if the tank is at an extreme angle. This gearbox is going to be a thing of beauty when finnished, I hope the front of the tank can be opened up easily so you can show it off. Oh - sorry - it's Bitish so almost certainly no access at all !
Are you going to have to make another one of these for the other Vickers ?
I continue to be very impressed, great work, David
