What is B.H.G.??

What is B.H.G.??

What is B.H.G.??

(OP)
I am currently re-drawing some very old (1946) drawings in 3D. One of the parts is a Bushing made in B.H.G. What is this material, can anyone please help????
Many thanks.

RE: What is B.H.G.??

Bloody Hard Graphite??

Really it could stand for anything. It may be a Manufacturers shorthand for his own specified material.  

RE: What is B.H.G.??

Considering you say it says Made in not made of- BHG could well be a country or area perhaps in their own language.  

RE: What is B.H.G.??

Probably a variant on brass impregnated graphite, such as "brass hardened graphite"

RE: What is B.H.G.??

Big Honkin' Gonads.  My father was a draftsman around that time ...

Seriously, you may have to scan through one of these massive internet acronym compendiums - just google for it.

Hi, thank you all for your ideas!!!
I am going down the "brass hardened graphite" route as that seems the most likely.
Thanks again.

These  is an old German firm Baumaterialien-Handelsgesellschaft AG (BHG) that makes hardware.
