Atlas/Craftsman Lathe Oiling for Dummies

All of the tips I've ever seen for those do not have the flare on the end. The tip just comes to a point with a hole in the end.
Thank you. I was thinking about tossing the tip on the lathe and extending the cone to the tip and giving that a shot. I've just never owned anything with these type of ball oilers on it before. I'm starting to really like these old tools. So glad I didn't end up getting a new import unit.
