[Steam-engine] wood bearings

[Best, Dianne]

"Do any of you know of machinery, lineshafts, countershafts, where wood
is used as the bearing?"
 
Quite a lot of them actually.
 
When I built my 1/2 scale model of a Waterloo 24-36 (to got with my 1/2
scale Russell), I got a lesson in wood bearing from Clyde Hall and used
them in the thresher. They've been running since 1997 and haven't been
touched.
