Self-seating Bearing

One of a pair, bought to make a rotational axis for my machine quite some time ago. This one has been separated from its twin and perched on top of the fireplace just collecting dust and keeping warm. I tried making an hdr image and succeeded but this is just the camera generated jpeg.

I saw the word shrinkage used as a verb today for the first time which rather disorientated me. Fortunately the curry we cooked for tea made me feel a bit better.
