[Bell Historians] First use of roller bearings?

[Andrew Higson]

Just wondering if the distinction between roller bearing and ball bearings is clear. Roller bearings seems to be common parlance for anything that isn’t a plain bearing.

Jennings in his book The development of British bell fittingsdeals with various forms of rollers in bearings, eg p.65.   So by the 1890’sthey were well known.

An 1896newspaper article about the installation of a G&J chime with swinging tenorbell (https://www.newspapers.com/clip/96404646)makes the claim that this is "the first time the roller principle has beenintroduced into bell hanging."  Is that claim correct?  If not,when and where were roller bearings first used?
