Paul, I inquired directly to Rohn for a definitive answer to this pesky question. Contrary to the definition of "thrust bearing" that appears in other sources, Rohn says their TB series are meant onl
Hallelujah! Can we now put this one to rest? The Japanese manufacturers have made this plain for years and now we have a definitive statement from Rohn. That seems to cover all the bases. Chris _____
