New user. Simple question about Consew 105 oiling.

I just picked up a Consew 105 that has been sitting for a very long time, and is a little gummy in its action. I've cleaned all of the pivot points, and everything is now moving smoothly. I have a manual, and it says that there is a central lubricating system, and it shows where I am supposed to add oil. Unfortunately, it doesn't say how much. Is there an actual reservoir somewhere? How much oil needs to be added into these individual oiling points?

Thanks

Looking at the diagram, i believe that the manual is referring to an oil tray in the top of the machine that has wicks to distribute the oil. Just saturate any wicks you see and give the tray whatever it can handle.i don't see an oil pump in the diagram.
