good and bad of your question? The reason I'm saying that is I looked at this and I thought what the heck is this no pictures but because you didn't give me a picture I did a search for the exact part I quoted up above and it's always amazing what you can find online by doing a search like for instance this. I assume you'll find what you seek their.

Another home remodeling problem nipped in the bud for me, thank you. I was just getting attracted to Orient watches, and without this post would have needed a contractor by next week. My propensity for leaping large before I look would have necessitated the building of the Orient wing at my house by now.

Well, that's the incorrect calibre, I've already searched for 46e40, now I need 46r40. Please be more careful what you say, because these two movement's are totally different. In 46r40 there is a power reserve indication etc. So I asked for an oiling map for this direct movement

Unfortunately, technical documents for the various Orient movements are difficult to find. Likely, your only approach will be to study other technical documents of Orient movements (like when I serviced the 46E40 calibre) and then use your general experience and knowledge of oiling. If unsure of a particular part or section, take some macro pictures and I'm sure some experienced and generous pros like @JohnR725 will be happy to share their expertise. 

A certain amount of humility is a good way to get professionals to share their knowledge.

For sure, as much as I understood from your answer (English is not my native language) it was rather offensive. Anyways this platform is not for trash talking, so thank you for any answer

unfortunately technical literature is often extremely difficult to find. For this watch I looked in the usual sources and I can find nothing. this is where you make use of other watches that are similar including other brands or anything you can find because that's all you're going to get.

I'm sorry that somehow I've offended you and you feel I talk trash let's solve the problem forever.

If you roll your mouse over somebody's name I suggest you do this for me a image will pop up just like this

you'll notice I circled something if you click that you go to another page it looks like this

the analysis of this discussion is my method of communication conflicts with yours. As I didn't recognize this and I still don't recognize exactly what I've done the easiest solution to this is to avoid these unpleasant situations forever. then yes message boards have these features for these type of situations it solves a problem permanently

    • I went with 8.90£ because 12th century Italian mathematicians are always excellent topics to bring up when trying to get your guests to go home. 
    • As a beginner, I’ve found this forum invaluable. I doubt I would’ve persevered without its support. I’ve had the confidence to attempt things that seemed to me impossible only because I knew there were patient and giving folks gathered around this watering hole, available to share their skill.    I would very much like to know where to go if this one dries up and everyone needs to decamp.  There’s something special about the folks gathered in this group.  How to keep in touch?  
    • After a 3-week work fiasco that took up 137% of my time, I was finally able to get back to restoring a G. Boley 8mm lathe I picked up on eBay. I still need to do a bit of polishing on the tailstock but it works very nicely. Before and after pictures below. In any case, when I was reassembling the motor I wasn't quite sure which side the pully attached to, or if it matters. My question is ... does it matter? The listing photo below shows it the reverse of how I have it now, but it seemed that the cord and the reversing lever(s) should be on the right away from the belt.   
    • Thanks Richard.  That’s clear.   So - another question - how much latitude is there in barrel and spring sizing? Say I have have measured the ID of my barrel to be 9mm and (all other mainspring specs being equal), the closest match I can find for a replacement mainspring is listed with an 8.5mm barrel size, is it acceptable to fit the smaller spring in to the slightly larger barrel without compromising anything functionally?  I’m in this situation now with an AS 1686 which has a 9mm barrel, but the closest replacement I can find has an 8.5mm diameter listed in its specs.  I can find an alternative 9mm spring, but would have to accept a different thickness.  I’m unsure how much wriggle room is acceptable, or whether in mainspring sizing, there’s a priority - ie thickness over barrel size etc. Thanks again for any info.  Cheers, John
