The demand for stainless steels as journal materials coincides with the incorporation of these steels into designs where their inherent properties have been not only desirable but, in many cases, necessary for the purpose to which they are to be put.

AS we have already observed, the road transport undertaking which operates large numbers of vehicles has a very real interest in the quality of the lubricants they use, for this has a direct influence on running costs. This is also true of the older form of public transport, the railway, where in fact the quality of the oils and greases may be even more important.

The equipment described is installed in a new rollingmill plant of AugustThyssenHtte, in the Ruhr. The realisation that the smooth running of a modern, continuous rolling mill depends very greatly on the efficient lubrication of all bearings and gears has led to the extensive, automatic, closedcircuit, forcedlubrication systems of the kind now to be described.

A paper presented to the Society of Automobile Engineers' Summer Meeting at Atlantic City in June, by T. F. Davidson and Lt. J. H. Way, both of the Power Plant Laboratory, Wright Air Development Center, Air Research and Development Command, United States Air Force, discusses the correlation between laboratory and engine tests of synthetic gas turbine oils. Seven oils designated A to G were subjected to test and gas turbine evaluations were conducted using an advanced unit in the 10,000 pound thrust class, which rejects several thousand BTU's per minute to the oil and has the oil in intermittantintimate contact with surfaces over 600F. Tests were conducted at 300F. oil inlet for 100 hours, using five hour test cycles in accordance with MILE5009. Oil additions amount to a complete oil change in the course of a 100 hours test.
