I wonder if he's putting oil on the springs. Seems like a really long nozzle for any oiling task.
 
Lubricant pumps were in use at the time but it is hard to say whether that wand, if that's what it is, would be for air, oil, or grease. There doesn't appear to be any spillage or catch trays for over spray other than that little oil dribble catcher. I suspect it is for grease service but it's hard to say for sure.
 
Maybe oiling spring or grease shackles, looks like draining oil , perhaps Pennzoil in steel drums against wall ? Getting full service at 500 miles? Love these old pictures!
 
That telescoping drain pipe with funnel must have been pretty slick when it was new. After some use I can see the lines to the underground tank getting all gunked up and turning into a nightmare to clean out though.
