Hi Chris,

Excellent reference Chris! The website you gave below, does lead to
another URL, which delves into quite afew potentially interesting topics
that
might be applicable to oil/lubrication, suspensions and even various "booms=
"
(pendulum shafts materials) that initially draw some curiosity. The URL:
http://www.horology.com/hip-hsin.html
(Horological science newsletter) especially lists quite afew on their index
that stand out, like, "rolamite suspension", "roller suspension", "crossed
spring pivot suspension", "crossed suspension" and many other etc., let
alone lubrication/oil. Once again....one has to join their society/club, an=
d
pay additional for what limited yearly information the newsletter people
there do have available. Will have to "chew" on whether the >$120 fees
would be worthwhile (?), which I likely won't do, as I think we have the
"general idea" already. On the other hand....the overall (free) web has
zero there on the crossed rod/wire suspensions.

The main oil/lubrication subject...at least via looking on web search
engines,
has really no (thus far) individual sites that come out and honestly exert
their (best) opinions on all the various oils that are available (which
their is
quite afew around). I suppose its kind of a way of avoiding lawsuits from
other oil brand makers, who may be slighted. For the moment, the only
brand that "kind of" gets more positive leaning recommendations is the
French oil: "La Perle".

Take care, Meredith
