Lubrication pump (“Bosch-Oiler”)

On June 5, 1909, Robert Bosch entered into an agreement with Eugen Wörner, from Cannstatt near Stuttgart, allowing Bosch to build central lubricating devices for engines, so-called “oilers”. With this product, Bosch learned how to deal with high pressures in lines and with metering the flow of fluids. This knowledge was essential in the later development of injection systems for diesel and gasoline engines. Today, Bosch is a global market leader for these systems.
