I'm baffled by how they work and can't find any documentation on the internet. Maby they're water or glycerin filled so the oil floats upwards? If anyone knows more about these please enlightening me.
After some research I've found that it's a single-drip oiler invented by Albert Lefebvre Fils, from France. I've only found a few images and almost no information but if you google "veteran oiler" then you'll see about 5 images of them(the most ive found in one place). They're not made anymore I think, but they used to be installed in old cars either on the dash or bulkhead and also used in oil engines.
Love this place - stay safe
A very neat place! So many old engines! My favorite! If I ever get to the UK I will try to visit this place.
The oiler, where the drops floated up… I’m intrigued. Good show.
Yeah, I wanted to record more of that but had forgotten at the time.
