Question on 29 Hudson drive shaft

Unknown

Things are progressing on my 29. I hope to have the cylinder block

back by early next week, which of course starts the meticulous process

of reassembly. The end of the drive shaft has a threaded opening on

the shaft just before the U-Joint assembly. Looks like a a grease zirk

hole. It appears to go right into the shaft so that doesn't make

sense. It is on the non-expanding end closes to the differential. Does

anyone know what the hole is for? Does this grease/oil the rear u-

joint? I can take pictures tomorrow if my description is confusing.
