Abstract: An aluminum heat exchanger is made from flat aluminum tubes formed with side edge projections having engaging surfaces and coated with brazing material on the outside surface but not on the inside surface of the tube or the projections. The opposite ends of the tubes are inserted into flat tube insertion holes in opposed header tanks which have a brazing material coated on the peripheral surface of the tank, so that, during brazing of the assembled heat exchanger components, brazing material flows from the header tanks to the engaging surfaces of the flat tubes.

Abstract: A conical roller bearing has a side plate of substantially L-shaped cross section fitted to the larger diameter side end portion of the inner peripheral surface of an outer race. The inner end surface of the side plate and the end surface of the larger diameter portion of a retainer are axially opposed to each other so that the inner end surface and the end surface of the larger diameter portion bear against each other when the cone has moved axially outwardly.
