Many of us lack a full complement and are in need of a cage.

In actual use, all the balls would congregate around one side, allowing the shaft to gyrate around the designed centre. Had a single lung diesel engine who's main bearing lost it's cage, and aside from the resultant shrapnel, that's just what happened. The noise was horrendous.
