A lot of ye olde equipment especially from UK origin had lots of grease nipples on it for oil lubrication. Often you will find a clip somewhere on the machine where an oil gun was supplied when new and clipped there for the operator to lubricate as required.
Of course the clip is nearly always empty, the oil gun long since gone. Which begs the question of how to lubricate the machine. You could buy a proper pom pom oiler that leaks oil everywhere OIL Guns POM POM Action 110ml Capacity Alemlube | eBay (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Oil-Guns-Pom-pom-action-110ml-Capacity-Alemlube-/151655280983)
Or I had a brain wave after I saw these miniature grease guns for sale. Garage Tuff Grease GUN 120cc Metal Nozzle | eBay (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Garage-Tuff-Grease-Gun-120CC-Metal-Nozzle-/321802099003)
Pull out the handle at the bottom and cut it off removing all the spring and other innards. Then weld up the hole and other join at the end.
Fill with oil and hold upside down to oil your machine, when finished store it upright and nothing leaks out.
