Abstract
Surfaces to be lubricated are supplied with lubricating oil by containing the oil within a reservoir filled with a porous oleophobic mass forming an oil receptacle which is impregnated with the oil, and communicating the reservoir to the surfaces to effect expulsion of oil from the reservoir to the surfaces by the negative capillary forces active on the oil within the receptacle pores.
