Water, or corrosive substance In greases or oils have virtually the same effect, viz.. etching of the flmiy finished fin-ished surfn es of halls and races on ! which the capacity and frictlonloss' dualities of a ball bearing are so de-: pendent Any hard foreign substance such grit, metal chips, c'-c. will render a per feet bearing useless in a short tlno There is no room betweene the balls and races for any hard substance, and should any work In, either the bear-IngS bear-IngS will lock and turn on the shaft or In the housing, or It will force the cups out In the softer shell and thereby there-by loosn the earful adjustment rend-' erlng the bearing loose, noisy and less efficient. There are thousands of other ways! in whlph ball hearings may be mis- , used In storage, mounting, and. later, lat-er, lack of proper maintenance butj If one will use the average sense, he I will find thut he will b rewarded, many times over for what little pains! have been taken.
