Their sponginess was their advantage: the fine continuous pores (up to 40% by volume) can absorb oil, exude it by capillary action as needed. Often they require no further oiling after impregnation; they can be sealed into machinery (e.g., household refrigerators) and forgotten. By 1932 "oil-less" bearings were used for many purposes in automobiles and were in time found to outlive the rest of the machine. Billions of such bearings...
