[TowerTalk] Thrust Bearing Idea?

[w2vjn@rosenet.net (George Cutsogeorge)]

If there is concern about a thrust bearing failure, why not
eliminate the unit from the top plate and replace it with a
lateral bearing.  This should reduce the possibility of failure
to near zero.

The one thrust bearing can be put below, inside the tower where
it is easier to replace.
