From memory one gallery goes into the 'chamber' between the two bearings; another gallery exits onto the top surface of the stub axle where the damper pad sits between the stub axle and spring. I believe that this latter one was deleted after Morgan deleted the damper pad/ blade assembly for a radial bearing. For a time, I understand that Morgan continued without deleting this grease exit point with the result that pumped grease flowed freely out of the stub axle rather than going into the chamber.
It's worth remembering that suspension is a dynamic thing; it goes up and down, twists around, is subjected to braking, cornering and shock forces as well as having to survive all the rain and sh1t thrown up by preceding traffic. Looking at it static only reveals some of its constraints and challenges. The point to remember with Morgan suspension is that it's a blacksmith's solution to an early 20th century problem.
