I was reading a web post where it was mentioned that the Arcus violin bow employed the use of a bearing on the button screw shaft to lessen stick wear. Was this a translation error or is this, in fact, the case. The only axial button bearing I have seen was employed on the Heddon Violin Bow. Any illumination would be appreciated.
