No, not Tony Birkett Dag!…Good try tho!

Just been trying to find out (Google) as to why we called ballbearings ‘Casties’…
Noticed that can be made of Carbon Steel. Could the first two letters of those two words form the word ‘Cast’ and we referred to them as ‘Cast’ies?
Probably not, but worth a punt!
