The lubricator roll(21) is for uniformly applying low viscosity lubricant to surfaces such as fusing rolls(11) used in copying or reproduction machines. The roll has a longitudinal array of apertures(29) for dispensing low viscosity lubricant contained in the roll and a longitudinal, interior strip(40) which scoops lubricant into an annular reservoir(36) formed between the strip and the roll. The annular reservoir provides a head on the lubricant near the dispensing apertures so that lubricant is dispensed from it over approximately three-fourths of each revolution, regardless of the level of lubricant in the roll(21).
