[HAM] hammond oil--clock oil

[John Brevik]

Once, long ago, Someone Who Would Know actually told me what Hammond 
oil really was, and of course now I forget, but I think it's some kind 
of turbine oil. I suspect that clock oil back then was still whale oil. 
But TWG oil does work fine on Hammond clocks.
