Abstract
IT is now nearly a century since Isaac Babbitt introduced a bearing comprising a liner of a relatively strong and rigid material coated with a thin layer of white metal. The advantages of this combination have proved of great importance in engineering practice, but more attention has been directed to the metallurgy of the white metal coating than to the mechanics of the bearing as a whole.
