[AT] Spam> bearing cross-reference

[John Hall]

What amazes me is way back when this old stuff was made, how they were able 
to hold the close tolerances in a production environment and manage to 
output a decent volume. Heck, today we're using computer controlled 
equipment and they didn't even have calculators!
