from a centerline of the bore according to the block labeled 810 each lug of the journal foil bearing assembly may be positioned in an axial groove extending along an inner wall of the bore and parallel with its centerline in this manner the lug may be captured by the axial groove so that it is prevented from moving radially about the bore with a shaft that is inserted therethrough each foil and spring and thus the journal foil bearing assembly may be held in axial position along the bore by abutting an edge of the lug with a first end of a pin the second end of which abuts an object according to the block labeled 820 the opposing end of each pin may abut against another object so that the foils of the journal foil bearing assembly are maintained in general axial alignment with each other when two journal foil bearing assemblies are present each pin may be installed therebetween so that the ends of the pin may abut the corresponding lugs of the assemblies which are inserted therein ordinarily the journal foil bearing assemblies may be installed so that one end of each lug abuts a pin in the axial groove and the other end of each lug abuts a retaining ring inserted into a ring retainer groove radially fabricated.
