PERFECT STEEL BALLS. Thsy Hsvs Ntvtr Yst Bssn Msds, Evan In ths Laboratory. One of tin? need of the tiny Is n perfectly spherical steel Imll. nnd yet It has never liccn made even In the Inlxirntory, much lets In the shop for commercial tines. When we consider the Importance of Imll beurlnpi for nu tomohlles. tnolorrvctett nnd other ma chliiery the Imperfections In iiteel balls inuxt appeal to all at of the Krentcut moment. Of course we make pretty pood xteel Imll. which couM not have heun iiiHiiufactureil a few yearn nco. o tar as the eye mi dhwern. they are perfectly spherical, too. and ordinary immurlnc liiKtniinents will nut he able to tlct-t any dirference In them, hut nererthek-M they are uot itrfectly kplicrl-al. A steel Imll for automobile tarlnpi must lie iHTfert within .0001 Inch, anil they are made even more jicrfect than tlili. hut mathematical perfection In this rc!)H-ct cwmn to 1m? ulmiwt as II liiNlve a MqtiarlnK the circle or discov ering the peretual motion machine. When the xti'cl ball was first used In the ix-ariiics of bicycles It was a very !raHTfect sphere. It was not called til nm to l,oflr any ktcqC load, nnd tho eloclty was uot Kreat. At the bent (be load on It was uot more than 200 pounds, and at the rnte of sixty miles an hour the revolutions were not more than 720 per minute. Compare that with the load and velocity of tho mod ern ball iMTirlupi of automobiles. Fre quently the load approximates a thou sand !ouuds and the velocity is any where from SCO to 1.200 revolutions. The Mmair-steel balls must taku the maximum load of the car and pass It on to others without binding or catch- I Inc. A slight Imperfection In any one ball would cause trouble. In fact. It Is Imposslblo to uso balls vr'.lh any ap preciable variation In size from one another, and tho moro nearly round they are the Ixstter the results. " f Htecl balls are not only made morel perfect In shape than ever before, hut they are harder nnd toucher. As there Is a tendency to flake, only spe cial steels can Im used In their manu facture, and these touch, bard steels aro all the more dllHcult to work with to secure irret roundness. Tho chrome steel, of which most balls for bearing are made, U one of the most difficult of steels to cut or shape, and the work of handling It has devolopcd vpcclal tools ami machines made of even harder material. While wo have not yet made the perfectly spherical steel ball and per- , baH may never succeed, the polut of perfection reached l little short of wonderful. Tho npproxlmately per fect steel lm!l Is a matter of vital Im portance wherever tmuhlne and ma-, chlnery ere made and used. Tin ap plication of the ball bearing system U extended to new lines of Industrial use each year, and builders of all kinds of apparatus arc taking advan tage of the perfection reached by tho manufacturers of these little spheres of tough steel.
