I have seen oilers on lots of different machines.

usually low speed things like hit or miss engines, or shop tools.

I bet someone here has abetter explanation of their general use.

So, they screw into the top of a bearing, get filled with oil, and the oil slowly flows into the bearing over time. The clear bowl lets one see when it's running low and can be topped off.
