[ARC5] [Milsurplus] Anti-Backlash Gear swarf

[Richard Schumann]

Anybody mentioned clock oil?  I suppose it's like instrument oil.

It comes in a neat clear plastic squeeze tube with a looooong tip like a needle to get in those hard to reach places.  

I didn't even know it existed until I needed to lubricate an old mantle clock.  I guess the stuff doesn't evaporate like normal oils.  Got some off Ebay.

Anyhoo, just my 2 cents worth.

  http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/swarf has a fairly decent 
  definition, Jay.  It's an old English term for the dust and curlings 
  from machining operations - I just used it in the sense of tiny pieces 
  of brass worn off of stamped sheet metal gears over long periods of 
  time.  There's probably a more descriptive term, but since I just 
  finished making a pile of brass swarf on the lathe, it seemed like the 
  right usage...:-(
