Subject: [atlas-craftsman IO] Off Topic Question for the old-timers

?

Apologies up front for OT, but you guys know more than anyone I've spoken to on the phone today.
Does anyone know the proper terminology for the attached pic? Pillow, Pillow Block, Oval, ovoid, egg, spring, all seem to not be proper.
It's an oil-impregnated sintered bronze bushing that was very common a half century ago in small electric motors. It is a self-centering design, usually held in place by a convex spring, felt washer, and riveted or spot-welded retainer. I have had success in the past just boring out and pressing in new straight bushing stock. I think I had a little too much bite on the chuck and it sprung out oversized once removed.
Yes, I know, i could make one, but that 5/8 OD is a bit out of the range for 1/4 ID stock. This is an on-going issue as I repair small electric motors for classic cars.
I rarely post, but I learn a lot on this forum.
Thanks in advance.
