The ring extends down into the depression, which is known as the "oil well." As the shaft revolves, the ring rotates also and obviously will carry oil up to the top of the shaft, thus accomplishing lubrication. The oil well should be rilled with proper oil and refilled with fresh oil whenever a test shows the oil to be getting low in lubricating power.
