A second plate has first and second surfaces. The first surface of the second plate has formed thereon a race and a reservoir which are matingly dimensioned and oriented with respect to the race and reservoir of the first plate. The second surface of the second plate has formed thereon a race, which is oriented perpendicular to the race of the first surface, and a reservoir, which circumscribes the race. A third plate has first and second surfaces, and the first surface has formed thereon a race and a reservoir which are matingly dimensioned and oriented with respect to the race and reservoir of the second surface of the second plate. A first pair of load carrying members are disposed in the mating races of the first and the second plates.
