Hi list,

Several ATMers (e.g., Bruce Sayre) use bearings for the "ball joints" and 
levers in their mirror cells. However, these bearings are used in a static 
environment (no real rotation of the bearings). Isn't there a friction 
problem with the use of bearings in a mirror cell? Would a joint made from 
silicone outperform the bearing?

Please share your thoughts and experiences on this!

Best regards,

Olivier
