The following is an address made by Professor C. A. Brockley at the ASMEASLE Joint Lubrication Conference held in Montreal last October. Professor Brockley is Chairman of the Associate Committee on Tribology of the National Research Council of Canada, and Professor of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C. It Is reprinted by kind permission of the American Society of Lubrication Engineers. The problems associated with tribology education in Canada, and the methods adopted to overcome them are very similar to those we have experienced in this country. Joint cooperation between the ASLE, the ASME's Tribology section, the Canadian Committee on Tribology and our own Committee on Tribology will hasten worldwide appreciation of our subject.

The world's first double universal rolling mill with integral edging mills rolls two rails or girders simultaneously. Compared with a conventional installation, very much less space is required and all the problems of synchronizing the operation are eliminated. Total investment is also greatly reduced. SKF supplied fourrow cylindrical roller bearings for the horizontal rolls. Accurate axial location is provided by a double direction spherical roller thrust bearing. The vertical and edging rolls are fitted with SKF bearings as well.
