In one embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided an aircraft gearbox including a gear and a gear shrouding for providing lubrication to the gear. The gear shrouding is disposed around the gear, has an inner surface facing the gear and an opposing outer surface facing away from the gear, and includes a channel formed along at least a portion of the gear shrouding between the inner surface and the outer surface of the gear shrouding, an input orifice extending to the channel, wherein the input orifice is at a first position on the channel, and an output orifice extending to the channel, wherein the output orifice is at a second position on the channel different from the first position. In another embodiment, the gear shrouding further includes a second output orifice at a third position on the channel different from the first and second positions.
