Force feed oiler come next on the list. This is something not generally
understood by engineers of traction and farm engines, and accounts for
it being so far down the list. But we think it will come into general
use within a few years, as an oiler of this kind forces the oil instead
of depending on gravity.
The Acorn Brass Works of Chicago make a very unique and successful
little oiler which forces a small portion of oil in a spray into the
valve and cylinder, and repeats the operation at each stroke of the
engine, and is so arranged that it stops automatically as soon as the
oil is out of the reservoir; and at once calls the attention of the
engineer to the fact, and it can be regulated to throw any quantity of
oil desired. Is made for any size or make of engine.
