If you like fertilizer, you might like black powder and ball bearings , right?
In the last four or five years it seems to me that we've been knocked off our bearings .

So it was one of those very happy accidents of technology that allows us to basically-- every single moving part in this clock is using ceramic bearings of some kind,
If you're going to have all the joints, mechanical things made of plastic, that may wear out more than if you have traditional metal and traditional bearings on that.
And, well, reason he did that is that as he fell asleep he would drop the ball bearings into the metal bowl
made out of thin walled steel tube with little pneumatic cylinders, a few hydraulics cylinders, little Fafnir aircraft bearings .
