Abstract
A method for forming a contactor adapted to transmit oil from a reservoir of oil-impregnated wicking material formed of a fluent mixture of oil and oil retaining particles to a bearing surface, includes the steps of filling a mold cavity of a predetermined size and shape with a charge of fibrous particles, compressing the particles to a density such that the spaces between the particles form a network of interconnected pores sized smaller than the interstices between the particles in the wicking material, and bonding the particles together to form a solid porous mass.
