These are little threaded brass fittings right at the oil port in the
cast iron.
So, follow the lines from the oil manifold to the ends. They should have
a model code, a number from 0-3 usually, and an arrow to show flow
direction. You should be able to remove them from the iron and reattach
them to the tube and run the oil pump. Then you can see how much they
deliver. The numbers are related to oil flow. Each number larger is
twice the oil flow. Check www.bijur.com for more info.

The orifices in the saddle are impossible to reach without removing the
table. Ugh!
