Re: [EVGRAY] Tesla Turbine Question

Body

Norm,

My applogies this subject has been a bother.  I was curious as to the
state of the bearings used at that point in time on that device in order
to research another object.  Figured Dr Tesla being the Man may have had
some super cool bearing tech too, so I queried the expert, you.  No
worries the subject is now closed.

Sorry to have upset you,

Mick
