The oil being sucked out happen to Richardson at Jacobe (sp). He had told them
not to run the end of the vent tube through the under-shield but the Engineers
insisted. By the end of the high speed runs the negative pressure at the tube
end had sucked most of the vaporised oil out.
Richardson did not want to open the hood to fill with oil in front of the press
but was told to give the reporters rides. He managed to do that without
ruining the engine by carefully driving the car spiritedly.
