Thanks for the information Maxwell.
-
The line shaft running the mechanical lubricator is made in Germany by Doll & Cie.
-
The lubricator tank and pump were never added by Jensen.
Clearly done by a previous owner who wanted to add an enhancement.
Crosshead guide drip tube, as you suggested.... very likely original.
Congrats, Jack! You sure do track 'em down!

Today arrives the 7th Jensen model #50 power plant steam engine that I've had the honor to track down. I aquired this one and it arrived in better condition than I expected.
It is very dirty and will need some professional strength cleaning and polish to make her shine again.
Two immediate observations I made. 1) it has some sort of custom cylinder head oiler. 2)it has a drip tube under the piston. That I know was made by Jensen because it's the third one I've seen to have one.
The oiler on the other hand I've never seen.
Should I leave it or scrape it putting this Beauty back to original condition.
