    The felt pad lubrication was much like friction journals seen in railroad car practice prior to roller bearings. All of the shaft load was on one side leaving the opposite side for lubrication. Railroad practice used a cotton and wool yarn wad saturated with oil later used woven pads. The felt used the wool for springy quality and cotton for absorbency.

    You need a nice big ACME anvil to go with your jaw crusher. Something tells me you are going to be doing a fair amount of hammering and thrashing on this one. I have an old cart mounted Jeffries 10"x16" jaw crusher/pulverizer all in one unit. Throw a limestone rock in the jaw, and it goes right into the pulverizer to make lime dust. Could also make sand with this unit or just bypass the pulverizer and just have the crusher run stone. Your ACME would look nice on a steel wheel cart. Have fun!
