Re: Seismograph

In place of a ball bearing, has anyone ever tried using a polished Acorn=
 nut for the pivot on the Lehman boom. It seems it would be easier to moun=
t than a BB. Ed.

Hi Ed,
?
??? Acorn nuts are not hardened, nor are the surfaces precision machined.=
 They would be unlikely to give a long lasting satisfactory performance.
?
??? SS bearings are hardened and have a?precision machined and polished su=
rface. They are known to give excellent performance.?
