The lubricator carries enough oil to give perfectlubrication for at least sixty days, thus saving the constant dailycare and attention as at present required, the cars being at alltimes ready to go into service when required. There is a greatsaving in the amount of oil used, and in the wear and tear of theparts, besides doing away with the dirt and inconvenience attend-ing the present mode of oiling.
