David: I tried both links and still can't find the fillet radius call outs.
There are no arrows indicating the radius on the inner or outer races that
have to interface with the shaft or housing. I get some funny numbers
expressed as numbers like: 1,6 I have never experienced this numbering
system before.


In various parts of Europe and the UK, it is common to use a
comma where we would use a period -- as the radix point (decimal point),
and periods (if present) as grouping characters, so what we would write
as "1,000,000.01", they would write as "1.000.000,01", so your "1,6"
would be most likely 1.6 mm

My MRC Engineering handbook is much easier to negotiate. I
can't imagine that it should be this hard to navigate thru their catalog. I
must be doing something wrong that I can't find.


Everything is in metric units, perhaps?

Enjoy,
DoN.
