T. w. Haley. a well known mechanic
in Milford, Me-. has invented a SELF
bearing. 1t is said that the
invention possesses superior qualities
to anything yet proposed in this line.
1t consists of a compound of metal and
graphite combined in such manner as
to hold the graphite in solution. this lat-
ter feature being the chief point of orig
inalty in the invention. All the metals
that are used fuse at much lower
than will vitrify glass
which requires 1000 degrees F. The
metals employed are thoroughly
mixed while in a powdered form.
and combine before the glass
becomes liquid. and are then
pressed into the journal: this makes a
hard and f-lubricating bearing. and
one which cannot be melted out by any
friction that could occur. as it will
stand red heat. glass alone making
a journal that will run with less oil
than Babbitt metal, but it is too brit
tie. The Haley journal is made of
glass, lead and graphite. which secures
for light shafting i |
little anthony is used. and for large
powdered aluminium and brass |
are added.
