Oilite bushes have been around in the current form for 90 years. 25% of the bearing is oil space.

Thanks to all for some interesting replies. The question of what the bushes are is interesting. They are certainly sintered bronze and RDG advertises them as Oilite but I suspect the term may be being used generically for anything sintered and I'm not sure how one would tell, short of heating them to drive out oil. By chance I had the opportunity to look at a different S7B lathe and that also has the bushes drilled, so I suspect Myford did use plain sintered bronze and did drill them.

If Nottingham Myford drilled it, drill it. Gainsayers should provide compelling technical backup and then still agree with the Manufacturer!
