To contribute to the confusion, I decided to replace my original oil feed
flex
tube with a new one I had purchased a while ago from Victoria British.  As
with most replacements, this unit was far less substantial and I was tempted
to reinstall the 47-year old original.  When extracting the original, I
inadvertently de-installed the adapter fitting attached to the engine and
noted the very small orifice through which the oil would flow.  Based upon
this very small passage, I am lead to think that this orifice is the
mechanism
that the engineers intended to buffer out the pulsations to secure a steady
gauge reading.  Should this be the case, air must be bled from the tube
