WEA, SA, i USA. i BSA, Overstrength Base and Bearing- Shell Add Years of Service to Bessemer Diesels The base and main bearings are the foundations for long life and continuous service of Bessemer-built Diesel engines. Bases of Bessemer Diesel Engines are built to form a substantial support for the crankshaft, and are scientifically designed to give the maximum truss, both in cross section as well as in longitudinal directions. The main bearings between each crank are supported by double walls. The bearings are full shell, lined with the finest non-ferrous metal, hand-scraped to fit the base and lubricated with a contin- uous pressure force feed lubrication system. The outer and main bearings are provided with suitable lips and a sling ring is shrunk on the shaft which prevents oil leakage out- side of the base. These recesses are drained back to the base to insure ample lubrication at a minimum of loss of lubricating oil. This also permits a cleanliness not possible with ordinary bearing design.
