Here another information only the size of ball bearing: 1902-1960's .116" ballbearings were inserted to reduce wear until harder brass was available for keyblanks. All five chambers of Corbin and Russwin used to contain ball bearingsuntil 'lock combing' became an issue. Ball bearings wear gradually reduceduntil only the first two chambers contained them. The older the lock, the morethe bearings....Timothy......

Good question that what I try to find out. I have no answer of what they call for the lock but I'm sure everyone know it ball bearing or steel ball, Just maybe someone may come up with answer...Timothy....
