The cost of the lead and antimony alloy is the least which can be produced. It can be used in many services where higher priced alloys are being relied upon mainly for their high cost. It is one of the greatest extravagances of large industrial establishments to use ma- terials that are too good for certain uses, and even perhaps unsuited, under the supposition that they must be good because they paid a good price for them. This fact has no greater exemplification than in the purchase of babbit...t metal, and is due to the great uncertainty which exists, not only among consumers, but among manufacturers, many of whom carry on their business much the same as the patent-medicine man. 2. Lead, Antimony, and Tin: It should not be assumed that anti- mony-lead is the cheapest alloy to use under all circumstances; not so, for when high pressures are to be encountered, tin is a very desirable ALLOYS FOR BEARINGS 43 adjunct. Tin imparts to the lead-antimony alloy rigidity and hard- ness without increasing brittleness, and can produce alloys of sufficient compressive strength for nearly all uses.
