Carobronze
of 85-86 New Bond Street, London, W 1.
1934 Illustrated description of a bearing which 'would seem, from the results of extended tests, to combine the useful characteristics of the plain hearing and of the ball or roller hearing. The high load-carrying capacity of a plain bearing, due to its relatively large surface, is obtained in the space required for the more compact ball bearing, whilst the coefficient of friction approximates to that of the ball or roller bearing. The journal is formed of the phosphor-bronze alloy known as Carobronze, a material subjected to a cold-drawing process and having a close and hard structure, alloy, though of recent introduction, is well known in this country; it has, indeed, been approved by the British Air Ministry, and is manufactured by Messrs. Carobronze Limited, 85 New Bond-street, London. W.l. The bearing here described has, however, been developed by the allied German Company. Messrs. Riebe-Carobronze Company, the firm being so named as one of the pioneers of ball and roller bearings in Germany, August Riebe, has been responsible for the development of the new form. We understand that it was the fact that Carobronze gudgeon pin bearings of heavy-duty oil engines for railcars have for some time been working successfully under loads of over 8,000 lb. per square inch,....'[1]
