GL: Cutleass Bearings

[Sean Welsh]

Umm, no, it's "cutless", with an E.  Unless you are a pirate.

Many, many people, including reputable shops, make this error, however,
so you might do searches on both, if search results are the issue.

FWIW, the bearings are so named because they "cut less" into the shaft
than other types.  A "cutlass" is a short, curved sword similar to a
machete and often associated with sailors as it was a good
close-quarters weapon.
