Every time I see a Model T Ford I think of Babbitt bearings, for some reason. How things have changed. When I started at a pulp and paper mill in 1974 I was amazed that they still had a mulewright whose job it was to do Babbitt bearings. The old fella's nick name, appropriately enough, was Babbitt Mike.

I have never worked in a paper mill but I would guess that the reason for Babbitt bearings was for sparks.

No idea where or why in the pulp and paper mill they were used just that they were. Never knew about wood bearings in combines but wood, Lignum Vitae, has been used for propeller shaft bearings on large ships. Originally Posted by 32t

It could be a Phallus impudicus, Stinkhorn mushroom or a Boletus edulis, Penny Bun mushroom. There are literally tens of thousands of different kinds of mushrooms, I believe 50,000 or more and lots of them look like penises. Some of the Psyllicibin mushrooms in particular Psyllicibe cubensis also look that way. Although I'm pretty sure the cubensis don't grow that far north.
