[R-390] grease

[robert.boyd at sdc-dsc.gc.ca]

Your suggestions are appreciated, but I personally would not want to use
powdered graphite in close proximity with RF circuitry, because sooner
or later this stuff is going to migrate and cause all number of
conductivity problems. Comments?

There is also a gun lubrication product that one MIGHT consider, it is 
"anhydrous graphite".  I would ONLY use it on the gear train, and NEVER 
inside the R-390(*).  This being that graphite IS conductive.
