Guys.........for the past few months....... :whistle ...I have had the pleasure of communicating with Jin....the principal of MICROCOSM in China

His work & devotion to model steam deserves  :clap ....& which ultimately will allow more affordable steam components to be in the reach of more members

Thankyou Jin......... :beer

Jin….I agree….people need to see how much oil is left or how much water needs to be drained out……….as a concept, this is very important for me

•   This is a good cost effective solution….same style & design…..just a CNC milled double sided slot + 2 sealing o-rings & a glass tube
•   Would you position the o-rings as radial or longitudinal compression? ….radial is technically a better solution
•   Maybe this should be your standard glass tubed lubricator from now on?
•   Some people prefer a fixed orifice to meter the steam oil displacement over an externally adjustable facility
•   Some people say the fixed orifice wastes oil……….
•   I am one of the people that would rather have too much steam oil in my engine than not enough
•   I am happy with the fixed orifice concept until I know better
