That's the fella. Pressed steel cups that push into the bottom bracket shell with little more than thumb pressure. Pressed steel outer races and it's all pulled together with a single nut on the threaded axle. Add a set of cheap cotters into the mix and you've got a bottom bracket that creaks and groans on every pedal stroke AND YOU CAN'T STOP IT!
