Timken Roller Bearings
Company's founder Henry Timken back in 1899 got the patent for the tapered roller bearing and founded the Timken company. Henry and his sons were able to realize that their innovation could improve the performance of most machines. For the first time the tapered roller bearing was applied to heavy freight wagons to solve their sharp turns problem. Timken's invention increased smooth running and wagon performance. The main advantage of bearings use was a decreased chance of of loosing the goods that's why in a short time bearings became an important part of many machines.
