1/10/16 Program on Pouring and Machining Babbit Bearings for the Model A Engine


Ray Pagliarini collaborated with Bob Osborne and Moe Rousseau to create a program demonstrating the making of babbitt bearings specific for a Ford Model A Engine.  The Power Point program included still pictures and videos of Ray actually making the bearings in his home workshop.  He was able to narrate the process in the films. Input from Bob and Moe was offered during the presentation.  Ray also brought some of the machines and tools used with him to the meeting on January 10th.  Many of the members approached him with expressions of interest and questions after seeing the program.
