An apparatus and method for quickly and efficiently providing texel data relevant for displaying a textured-image. A large amount of texture source data, such as photographic terrain texture, is stored as a two-dimensional or three-dimensional texture MIP-map on one or more mass storage devices. Only a relatively small clip-map representing selected portions of the complete texture MIP-map is loaded into faster, more expensive memory. These selected texture MIP-map portions forming the clip-map consist of tiles which contain those texel values at each respective level of detail that are most likely to be mapped to pixels being rendered for display based upon the viewer's eyepoint and field of view. To efficiently update the clip-map in real-time, texel data is loaded and discarded from the edges of tiles. Attempts to access a texel lying outside of a particular clip-map tile are accommodated by utilizing a substitute texel value obtained from the next coarser resolution clip-map tile which encompasses the sought texel.

A roller for supporting an endless track of a track laying tractor is mounted for rotation about a shaft or axle fixed between transversely spaced, parallel rails of a track support frame. The roller is constructed of mirror image halves having axially inner ends welded together, with a pair of thrust bushings being received on the shaft and respectively disposed in supporting relationship the roller halves. Each thrust bushing includes an axially outer end defined by an annular flange having an axially outwardly facing flat bearing surface. A pair of mounting brackets are respectively received on, and fixed to opposite ends of the shaft and fixed to the pair of rails of the support frame. Non-uniform edge loading of the bushings due to minor shaft deformations due to flexure of the track support frame rails is minimized by providing axially inwardly facing ends of the brackets with spherically contoured surfaces, and by locating an annular spacer between each bracket and bushing flat bearing surface, the annular spacer having outer and inner axially facing surfaces respectively shaped complimentary to the spherical contoured surface of the bracket and the flat bearing surface of the bushing

Joint assemblies are useful for connecting one structure to another structure. When the various structures deflect or bend, edge loading occurs therebetween.
