Lubrication and Lubricants e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Whilst the subject of Lubrication and Lubricants cannot be dealt with exhaustively in a small book, there is undoubtedly a demand for a compact work for the use of engineers and chemists, and Of engineering students in which will indicate the present state of knowledge on the subject, the experimental and other work by which it has been Obtained, and the efforts which are being made to increase it. At the present time, very considerable attention is being given to the study of lubrication generally, not only by Oil chemists and engineers, but also by workers in the field of pure science. In the following pages, endeavour has been made to present the subject to the student in as simple a manner as possible, consistent with the assumption of a general knowledge of engineering terms in common use, and to indicate to him, broadly, the course which his studies Should pursue. The best thanks of the author are due to Mr. T. Rooney for his suggestions in connection with the chapter on Chemical Tests.
