What does that cross hole actually do?

I assume that the coned tip has a seat at the bottom of the oiler to regulate the flow, or even shut it off, but I can't quite see what the cross hole in the shaft does to enhance function???

The stem is drilled right through from top to that cross drilled hole for easy refilling of oil.
