Synopsis
Excerpt from Hoover Steel Ball Co;, Ann Arbor, Michigan: Manufacturers of Balls, Steel, Bronze, Brass Copper, Aluminium and Other Materials in Both High and Commercial Grades
About 1890 the Cleveland Machine Screw Co. Designed and built for the Deutsche Waffen und Munitions Fabriken, of Berlin, Germany, equipment used in its original steel ball plant and this marked a most important step in the trade, owing to the reputation for making high-grade balls that was later acquired by this firm. The machines built and shipped to Germany had no reference to American manufacturing rights, and the Cleveland Machine Screw Co. Continued to operate its plant in the usual way.
In 1894 when a consolidation of bicycle manufacturers was effected, the Cleveland Machine Screw Co. Was sold to the Pope Mfg. Co. Of Hartford, Conn., which at that time started to manufacture its own balls for use in bicycle bearings. The requirements of balls for the bicycle trade were not nearly as severe as the standards-which must be met by balls used in high-grade annular bearings at the present time. This was largely due to the fact that the cup and cone form of races was employed, allowing compensation to be made, and while this form of race did not enable ball bearings to be Operated under the most efficient conditions, it was the means of overcoming discrepancies due to inaccuracies in the size of the balls. Up to this time there had been six or seven firms engaged in the manufacture of steel balls, but with the decline of the bicycle industry a number failed.
