[HAM] BC tremulant oil threads (again)

[Hugh]

Thanks Richard. Can you see how the run motor bearing furthest from 
the TG lubricates? If there's no thread going to it, say possibly 
between the tremulant gear case and the motor case, I guess it must 
lubricate from fling off of the tremulant gears once they're 
lubricated by drops down the brass tube. If you could confirm that, I 
think my conundrum is solved. Except that the brass button with the 
hole in it lower down (furthest left in my photo) doesn't seem to 
have a function, unless it's an overflow for over zealous 
lubricators, but then why not just a hole?

Cheers,
Hugh
