My barograph mechanism has a fair amount of 'stiction' in the pen movement and so I wonder if replacing the simple sleve bearings for point bearings as used for escapement wheels would be worth doing. I realise that the friction between pen and paper is one source of stiction but feel that the...

This is just a heads up to say that I have placed my blocks on eBay as I no longer have a mill or lathe. John
