A long silent lineshaft hangs from the joists in a preserved grain mill in Minnesota.
All the lineshafts here still have their babbitt and they will reluctantly move when you try and spin them. Not bad considering they last operated in 1939.

Babbitt, also called Babbitt metal or bearing metal, is any of several alloys used for the bearing surface in a plain bearing. Typically poured in place as a molten metal it was VERY common at one time.
Modern bearings in automobile engines use a version of Babbitt even today, but they are made and machined to tolerance before installation.
