ABSTRACT:
A bearing lubrication system in which a shaft is journaled for rotation in an integral bearing in a gear box, the bearing being primarily loaded through less than its full circumference, leaving an unloaded reach of the bearing, the bearing being interrupted through a substantial arc in at least a portion of the unloaded reach to define a gap in the bearing through which lubricant travels, is provided with a fixed scoop for channeling lubricant into the gap. The bearing is a solid bearing, of a piece with a gear box housing, as is the scoop.
