[Collins] Need Info on a KWS-1 Blower Motor

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

Notice that the bearing has a seal on one side and a shield on the 
other. Probably the replacements should be turned the same way on the 
motor shaft. The originals had a felt seal on the sealed side, probably 
behind a steel shield. And with the shield a drop or two of sewing 
machine oil will wick in and may quiet a bearing noisy because of dry 
lubricant but won't cure a bearing with a chip of metal in the race or 
gone from the race.
