bragging about chrysler

as you know chrysler made many advancements in the automotive industry. this is one that i think has done more good than most know about.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oilite

Oilite*is a porous*bronze*or*iron*alloy*commonly impregnated with an*oil*lubricant*and used in*bearings. The original Oilite and*Oilite Plus*are bronze alloys, while*Super Oilite*and*Super Oilite 16*are iron-based. Oilite was developed by*Chrysler*in 1930,[1]*originally for use in bearings for*water pumps*and*spring shackles, and without oil as the porous filter element in*gasoline filters. Chrysler sold approximately 500 thousand Oilite bearings in 1930 and approximately 2.5 million the next year. The Super Oilite was introduced in 1932. Overall sales of all Oilite material in 1932 was seven million; this rose to 18 million in 1933. Oilite was a profit center for Chrysler during this time.[1]*Currently, the Oilite*trademark*belongs to Beemer Precision.[2]
