Abstract
My first involvement with metal on metal bearings was in 1995. Corin Medical Ltd (Circencester, UK). asked Centaur Precision Castings Ltd (Sheffield, UK) to take over the supply of castings for the McMinn resurfacing from Trucast (Isle of Wight, UK). As the Medical Development Manager at Centaur, my engineering team and I took on that project.
