for are those things that have a short threaded rod with a clevis that holds
a bearing on one end. I could make 'em but I'm thinking they're probably
available from someone's catalog if I only knew what they were called.
Anyone got an answer?

Most of those are actually Heim joints.

That'll be what I learned today.
Turns out Steamer just wanted casters anyway.

of virtue. These amiable passions, are the latent spark. If

the differences between true and false, right and wrong,
virtue and vice, to what better principle can the friends of
mankind apply than to the sense of this difference?"
