After that a single large bearing was fitted. The generator rear end or commutator end bracket only was fitted with sintered bronze bushings. I have been rebuilding these for over 50 years and that is truly amazing as well don't you think? If you don't believe me then get out your ford workshop manuals or a MACS catalog and check it out.

Thank you for correcting my faulty memory and misconceptions.
That still does not change the way the flex-fan works.
