That is really interesting............but it looks like one of those solutions looking for a problem. With all that oil sloshing around inside, why would you need to "oil" the bands?

Still pretty cool though and deserves a display spot on the wall.

It would be great for start up after a long sit. First start I always add one quart to the transmission on top of the bands.

Actually that accessory isn’t to ‘add oil’, but rather for adding a heavy grease-like compound.

The waxy thick compound squirted out the two nozzles to spread it on the linings, to retard glazing and help reduce chatter.

Missing is the twist T-handle and the tube nozzels, the handle is placed after packing the reservoir, the cap keeps out stuff when the T-handle is removed, plus originally a screen was inside to prevent anything but the compound from getting in the hogshead.

Dan,

Once again you pull a "rabbit out of the hat." You are amazing and your willingness to share information is commendable. I don't need to learn another thing today. :-)

My best to Julia too,
Dom

If you open link on patent you can see Mr Evers was the patent idea guy, as assigned the patent to Evers-Savage Co

Seems two styles, early with knurled twist knob, later with T handle. These ads in 1921-1923 so guess not too many, the one ad states to just use cup grease, the other more marketing by selling the compound as special Red Cup ;)

There is another variation of that accessory that was advertised as using mica grease. I think that is the one Bob has. The injector tubes are missing.
