Um...Lifting...

Terrific description with a pic! Thanks.
Couple questions:
1) Is there a steel ball or roller bearing inside that squishy green block for feathering or is the block the bearing?

2) Would the block be called an "elastomeric bearing"?

3) Is the block hard rubber or urethane?

4) Does the green block take the radial outward (Centrifugal)loads.

Hope thats not too many quetions, this is very interesting.
Thanks
