Before I get to the description...

	I understand this particular folder of pictures has received over 11,000 hits in 
under 6 months.  This is a huge number in such a short time.  I myself have not mentioned 
this creation in any forum nor to any group of people.  It was uploaded and left only for
the visitors of BrickShelf to find.  If you are interested or know where the hits are coming
from (a forum link, etc) please, send me an email.  Don't mind the spam-blocker.  I will
still read any messages sent.

Description: 

	This huge ballbearing is made with the hoop wheels from the #4481 Star Wars Hailfire
Droid and LEGO Sports balls (as if you couldn't tell).  The balls fit perfectly and are locked
in an inner race when sandwiched between the wheels.  41 balls take up the race with a small 
fraction for proper slippage between the balls.  It is very stable in the horizontal
position.  This unit can be used as a huge turntable in creations such as cranes, tanks,
and other huge models where a smooth rotation of a large mass is required.
