It might - or might not - be a Colin Chapman quip when asked how to reduce oil drag in the back axle. Early axles were filled with a glutinous mixture of grease and oil - hence the sealing arrangements to prevent this from escaping down the axle tubes and contaminating the brakes were either rudimentary on nonexistent. It's ages since I had an axle apart - what were the sealing arrangements of the later screw-in and long flange types?
