Started the 9A rebuild, reversing gear assembly not like the manual....

The reversing gear housing is unlike that shown in the Ilion manual.
The book shows a housing with three interconnected passageways, and a gits oiler to fill the wicks.
On mine, the twin gear shafts have feeder holes on the outside, that intersect with an internal cross-wise wick hole in each shaft.

The long rectangular wick that runs along the main shaft, is fed only by an intersecting passage that connects to a small hole above it on the outside of the housing.

Am I correct in assuming, that all three of these points need to be kept oiled individually then?
