[Boatanchors] Bearing identification

[Harold Smith]

Hi folks,

Please help me identify some late 1970s ball bearings
before I open the packs and possibly ruin the preservative.

The bearings are in small cans, like the jam we used to
see for C rations - about 1.25" tall, 2.25" diameter. All the
cans have 1 EA A-1A5; PRES  MIL-B-197D; LUB W/MOBIL #28.

The differences are:
One can type has WEST P/N-P8C7719-10-909C595-16
The other type has WEST P/N-P8C7706-21-909C595-48

I've tried Google - nothing found.

I would open the cans and measure the OD, ID and thickness. You will not
mess up the preservatives. If they are useful, you might wash out the gunk 
and after drying
repack in a good bearing grease. Then wrap in Alum foil. They will be good 
longer than you and I.
