191. What prevents the thrust bearing blocks shown in the illustration from rotating within the housing

The bearing assembly is specifically designed to allow for rotation, permitting the transmittal of axial forces across a greater surface area and minimizing loading densities.
The thrust shoes are dovetailed into the collar.
Found within the thrust bearing cap or cover are extended protrusions to position the thrust shoe segments and maintain minimum clearance.
The bearing blocks are massive and their weight provides sufficient force to prevent rotation.
