Re: Stewart Warner lubricator?
That is used on certain types of fittings that are used on some applications like certain u-joints that require a flush fitting to avoid obstructions or flying debris.
I have a later version of that item that I use on the rear u-joints on an '81 Dodge pickup. You can also use it to get grease into some non-grease-able suspension parts, etc.

Re: Stewart Warner lubricator?
I have used that tool many times. One of it's primary uses is greasing fittings where there is not enough room for the grease gun fitting.
You attach this tool to your grease gun. Put the pointed end on the "ball" of the fitting needing grease. Push hard to create a seal, then pump grease into grease fitting. U-Joints are a prime target example.
IF you grease your spring bushings, instead of oiling them, this tool may be a great option for the hard to reach bushing fittings.

Re: Stewart Warner lubricator?
These are used ALL OVER on modern aircraft. The grease fittings are tiny, just the size of the diameter of a lumber nail, with a small check ball in the center of a depression, to keep debris out. The grease fittings are less than the size of a tic-tac mint. They just press into a hole, and are probably less than 3/16" in diameter. They have a VERY TINY CONE where the check ball is. The tiny tapered end of this locates into the tiny cone, and then grease is pumped into the fitting on the bearing. If you climb up to the VERY TIPPY TOP of a jet airliner, and look at the top rudder hinge, you will see one of these on the hinge ring. The access is JUST ENOUGH to get the tiny nozzle tube up against it, and pump the fitting full of grease. I doubt you will ever need one of these for a Model T. but they work just as well on the Model T grease fittings, as they do on 21st century rocket engine grease fittings.
