Universally, credit has been given to Isaac Babbitt of Taunton, Massachusetts, in the early 1800’s as the inventor of the anti-friction alloy, Babbitt. It has recently been discovered in his early writings, that the great Leonardo da Vinci, interested in the effects of rolling friction on the bearings of wheels, advised the need for cooling journals to prevent overheating by the friction. He predicted that the ideal formula for a future metal alloy would be 83.3% tin, 8.3% copper and 8.3% antimony.
