advantages of ball bearings over plain bearings


Inventor

The ball bearing was not invented by Sven Wingquist (research reveals it was invented by Da Vinci as it says later on the page), he was merely a pioneer. I will make the change. STufaro 21:33, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Got a cite for that?
I've got info which says that Philip Vaughan patented the first ball bearings. I've also read/heard about Emperor (Nero?)'s ball bearings in his pleasure ship, which was sunken in Italy, and raised in the 1900s... but very little details on that.
