[TowerTalk] 2nd thrust bearing inside tower - you opinions??

[Dick Pechie]

We have installed second thrust bearings on all the towers here (4) and this
has paid in dividends when replacing a rotor not to mention probably the
mechanical advantage of supporting the mast when the mast is that far above
the top bearing.
