On the left you see the cover on the winding roll. A little further right is a crooked yellowish lever or a hook. This hook does the shutter cocking. With some force of the thumbnail it is possible to cock the shutter without winding. In the gap below the hook there is a shaft of a lever rotating during the shutter run. This shaft should be lubricated too. Furthermore you might carefully lubricate other shafts you see at the camera's bottom. It is important that the flat silver disk in the middle of the camera bottom is slightly tightened. Hope this helps.
