Abstract
An endless chain having a tension and a relaxed non-tension run, and a lubricant delivery control including friction responsive elements to sense the friction condition between the chain and a part of a supporting track and respond on increasing friction to dispense lubricant into the non-tension chain run which is carried to the friction sensing element to eventually reduce the friction and allow the sensor to cut-off lubricant supply.
