In the age of water and steam-powered mills, industrial power transmission was a far cry from the advanced systems we know today. Before the era of electricity, these mills depended on a network of mechanical parts to generate the power needed to run their operations. Central to this system was the spinning shaft, suspended from the ceiling, which transmitted energy throughout the building. At the heart of these operations was a critical, often overlooked component—the slip bearing. What Was a
