My Cup Runneth Over

Those are drip oilers mate, the little 'ole at the bottom is so you can see tne drip rate.

Ah, makes sense ;D , so practical those old hengineers, I like the idea of keeping an oil reservoir in the hand rails in some engine houses.

Yep, they had a good many dodges, them old blokes.

Here's one of the oilers on my Myford, which works the same way.

The lever looking thing (top pictures) at the top was used to regulate the flow as well, you could wind the knurled nut up to adjust the drip rate, so that when the lever was pulled over you could go from a drip, to a trickle.

I also appreciate the how-to's.

Even though I have this forum to use for reference, I paste many of the photos and written info into Microsoft Onenote. This program is wonderful for categorizing various pieces of information I run across here and on other sites. This one gets its own tab.
