This reference, from 2008 rather than 1896, is significantly more accurate because much of that work is now organized, and is more useful because it names the collections. The total is 74+2+9+7=92.

- 19:5619:56, 16 April 2018 diff hist −280 Linear stage The ball bearing part appears intended to describe simple rollers, rather than ball bearings. Crossed roller bearings probably wouldn't be used for this at all - they are very, very expensive and highly specialized. Both ball bearings and crossed roller bearings are for rotational movement, rather than linear movement. A ball bearing could be used like a wheel and axle with less friction (that's how they are used in skateboards), but that's still a roller-type where the rollers are ball bearings

Slewing bearing
Undid good-faith revision 820448301. Slewing rings can rotate 360 degrees, no part of the ring prevents that, and are rotated through their full range whenever the application requires (any rotation limits are due to wiring and controls, not due to the bearing itself). They tend to be used intermittently rather than continuously due to the nature of the application, such as in construction cranes. Slewing rings are made to handle primarily axial loads. Bearings on aircraft control surfaces (aileron, rudder, etc) have axial loads and torque loads. See the four bearing type examples at http://www.aircraft-bearing.com/std-series-bearings.html or see the posting at https://www.kaydonbearings.com/markets_AerospaceDefense.htm where the aerospace supplier says they provide slewing rings for gun mounts and tank turrets - they don't provide them for aircraft. Unless a citation can be found that specifically links slewing rings to aircraft applications, the assertion shouldn't be in the article

- 19:1719:17, 10 March 2018 diff hist 0 m Hand (unit) The article on radix (rather than radix point) is completely unrelated to the usage of "radix point" here. I would also suggest saying "decimal point", as that's a far more widely-understood term even if the numbering system isn't strictly decimal; perhaps that should be noted in parentheses to aid the reader.
