I think that single fitting and hole down the shaft was a bad design by Packard

I think that's an unduly harsh assessment. The fact that it failed to overcome owner negligence and/or didn't provide adequate service for 50+ years beyond the expected service life of the car doesn't make it a bad design. If something lasted satisfactorily for 15 years, then it was a good design because that was the expected life expectancy.
