Bronze and its close relative, babbitt, are carrying the locomotives and cars of our railroads in unprecedented volume. The rolls in many mills operate at a dull red heat and with scanty lubrication. The bearings are therefore called on not only to withstand high temperatures, but to support the rolls at the tremendous pressures encountered. Different conditions require different formulae and this fact has necessitated the use of all the helps of modern science in the present day manufacture of bearings. It is by the recognition of this fact that Damascus Bronze Company has grown from the small beginning in 1879, with a capital of less than $5,000, to a company owning assets of well over a million dollars.
