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.

Here's a pic of an Arcus button screw... in case that helps answer your question:

Thanks @bocaholly .  Is there an intermediate element (like a couple of washers) or does the button immediately connect to the stick?
