mined that the carts themselves will be rusty and damaged at about thesame time the wheel bearings begin to fail. By injecting the wheel bear-ings with a high temperature grease the life of the wheel bearings isincreased considerably. The project recommends using the high temper-ature grease. This is called:a.
