I wore specs from ared 14 - that's 1954. We had one girl in our year who
had a hearing aid, and I have no reason to know about allergies elseset,
but from 13 I was egg-intolerant.
I still am unable to eat (say) a boiled, fried, scrambled etc egg
without being demonstrably ill.

That sounds grim. I am fond of eggs, especially for breakfast. Thankfully
the scare stories re their health impact have been turned on their head.
I met someone before with the same problem, he could eat dried egg. I've
never tried it but have been curious about it ever since.
I would still use diseasel oil. Immersing the clockwork shouldn't do any
harm unless there are rubberbits on it.
I don't agree. WD40 is (generally) the work of Stan
My mother (a physioterrorist) discovered how good ultrasound was for
'cleaning'. She and the manufacturer of her ultrasound therapy apparatus
were trying to find a suitable flexible/elastic medium for a working
surface which could make an interface between the sound-head and
depressions in the body, such as armpits, round the collarbone etc.
She had a director of the London Rubber Co. on treatment who supplied
her with a bumper box of condoms. With a tablespoon of water in the
thing the lovely idea was destroyed from the inside, rubber or whatever
they were made of was just 'peeled' from inside, leading to bursting in
very short order. The spectacle drew some surprised looks from patients...
I have one of her old machines, and it works very well if the article to
be cleaned is immersed in a fluid and the sound-head is held so that it
is it touches the surface of the reservoir (usually a cramic or glass
pot or bowl).
I cleaned a *very* grimy old motorcycle crankcase this way.
