A lubrication system for an electric motor or other dynamoelectric machine in which a first or lubricant applying wick is inserted into a receptacle in the hub of the end shield of the motor. A first portion of this wick extends inwardly toward the rotor shaft for contact therewith and for the application of lubricant thereto. Another portion of this wick is tapered (i.e., inclined with respect to the longitudinal centerline of the motor) and cammingly engages a portion of the hub when the wick is retained in its installed position so as to urge or force the first portion of the wick inwardly toward the shaft and to positively maintain lubricant applying contact between the wick and the shaft. A reservoir wick engages the first wick so as to supply lubricant to the first wick.
