While I was servicing the movement of BNCR #224, I thought it would be interesting to show you the oiling procedure that I prefer to use. It is much easier to show the oil points with the movement out of the camera, though generally you would oil the movement while it is in the camera, and believe it or not, it is possible! Take a look at the attached photos for the exact oiling positions.

2. Registration pin felt oil pads
The inboard and outboard registration pin felt oil pads need to be saturated with camera oil so they take on the color of the oil.
3. Registration pin toggle
One drop of oil should be applied to the front and back joints of the register pin toggle.
