Scraping bearings to true them up is an art form that is all but lost
.bloody tedious job, but an art form nonetheless!

Not many around that can true up a set of plain bearings now either. Thank

Personally, I still think well engineered and carefully looked after plain
bearings take a lot of beating.

Indeed, but the trouble is that all too often people can't be bothered to
oil them regularly.
