The 5 to 2 decision, with Justices Burton and Clark recused, held that Timken through British Timken Limited and French Timken Timken Society conspired to restrict competition in tapered roller bearings. British Timken owned 30 percent of its ordinary shares and 1 percent of preferred shares in March 1949. French Timken half of its outstanding shares. Timken held notes totaling 241000 dollars from French Timken and a 120000 dollar note from M. B. A. Deward secured by stock. The Cleveland district court ordered severance of foreign connections and two years to divest stock and notes.
