Re: linear bearing based on ground flat stock

Hello,

Here's the Bishop Wisecarver website.

http://www.bwc.com/html/index.cfm

I've been to their Pittsburg, CA plant many times. (Back in the days
when Digital Tool was using $100K of their product each year.)

It's interesting to see the induction hardening process used on the
rails.

Last time we bought #2wheels they were about 16 bucks each. That was
a while ago.

I haven't been there in a while; need to go see what's new.
