From the SBL lubrication chart:
Machine Oil Saybolt Universal Viscosity Rating in Seconds at 100
degrees F.
Type A: 100 sec.
Type B: 150-240 sec.
Type C: 250-500 sec.
Usage:
A e.g. spindle bearings, B e.g. gear box, C e.g. spindle thread,
ways,
dovetails.
Oh, and Teflon grease for the back gears and spindle cone.

I have noticed a lot of reference to Type A, B and C lubricants.
My lubrication chart does not reference this information. It only
shows the
following three viscosities.
100 - Spindle Bearing and Apron Reserve
150 - 240 - Gearbox, Counter shaft
240 - 500 - Everything else.
I purchased some Turbine Oil Which I do believe falls into the
240-500
viscosity range.
Are this viscosity's refer to the A B C?
