Re: [T3] Fixed last suspension problems, floppy rotted ball joints

["" <fuzzyface57@hotmail.com>]

Alright, I knew I'd seen this someplace before....

Oscar Ulysses Zerk....
"Zerk's most important invention one that made him the most money and 
benefited Kenoshans most was a tiny grease fitting, a lubrication system 
which became the basis for those used on nearly every car, truck, plane and 
other mechanized vehicle."

Want to know more?

Aircraft maintenance manuals (at least Boeing) refer to them as Zerks; I'd
assumed it was the normal US term.
