My recent edit to the Austin 7 page was intended to be constructive and to correct relatively minor factual inaccuracies. If you also happen to know a lot about the early history of the Austin 7, I would be very keen to know what your objections are to my edit. BeechMount (talk) 17:48, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Couple of comments on the Austin 7 - AIUI, the bearing layout changed from the original (2 to 3, but I don't know what types). Secondly the later engines had a plain centre bearing as well. As the article is currently worded, the double ball bearing at the front makes it sound like there were only rolling element bearings, as the plain bearing isn't mentioned and the "three rolling bearings" sounds as if the centre was rolling too. Additionally, did adding a centre plain bearing make any difference to the oil system? Was an oil pump now required, where previously it had been pure splash?
