That system was factory installed on mid-20's-1940's Rolls Royce cars. The tubes were steel of course, but that was the basic system. Your driver pumped the grease pedal a few times before turning the engine over before every trip. Keith

Some American cars like Packards had that exact same system as well, with a spring-loaded T-handle that you would pull out and then the spring would return the handle back and lube the chassis. No oil-can-Henry's required!

And not only that, Packards used to have a float-type oil level gauge mounted on the side of the block - no need to get dirty messing with a dipstick!

We had a lot of really cool things over the years that were removed for various reasons.
