Abstract
Lubricating oil supplied to the annular antifriction bearing mounting a rotary ring log barker ring on ring-mounting means, and lubricating oil supplied to air seals for a rotary ring log barker annular air plenum chamber is returned to an annular oil-collecting chamber in the inner periphery of the rotary ring. From such oil-collecting chamber oil is scavenged by a stationary scoop tube in the upper portion of the rotary ring-mounting structure and drained by gravity to a reservoir from which it may be pumped for recirculation through the components of the barker requiring lubrication.
