This practical book describes the wide and diverse range of bearings found in the large variety of different types of models built in home workshops. It reviews the choice of bearings materials, the type of bearing to use for each particular application and highlights the differences between home-made and off-the-shelf bearings. It also considers the installation and care of bearings. Furthermore, it covers several full-size applications undertaken by model engineers, such as clock making and machine tool maintenance, which also call for some knowledge of bearings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is now over forty years since Ian Bradley and Norman Hallows published the slim MAP volume\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eBearing Design and Fitting\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand much has changed in the bearing field since that date.
