It's fascinating to hear this history of All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) and their unexpected origins! I enjoyed learning about Roebling's ingenuity and how a man's desire to help hurricane victims serendipitously led to a vital tool for the military.
Your point about D-Day is interesting. While ATVs weren't specifically mentioned in the lecture, it wouldn't be surprising if they weren't utilized in Europe. Their debut seems more aligned with the Pacific theater with its diverse terrain and island hopping strategy. And i usually get ball bearings online, like eBay or other online store like TBS-Bearings
