Slight shelf wear to edge of D/J. Sunned spine to D/J. Rolling contact fatigue and performance testing of the effects of lubricants on fatigue is a subject of great topical interest. One reason for the interest is the importance of fire-resistant fluids in their mining, industrial and military applications. Unfortunately the lubricating qualities of fire-resistant fluids vary, and are anyway below those of conventional mineral oils. It is therefore important to be able to establish performance characteristics for all types. The main topics treated include background papers on the state of the art, Institute of Petroleum test methods, basic test methods, practical applications of test methods, lubricant effects of fire-resistant fluids, and Lubricant effects of other fluids. A notable feature of this publuication is the full tect of the numerous open discussions. These were made even more informative through the distribution of pre-printed papers. This book presents the proceedings of the International Symposium organized by the Institute of Petroleum in London, October 1976. British contributions came from the Admiralty Oil Laboratory, The National Coal Board, and The National Engineering Laboratory, among others. Distinguished foreign contributions included representatives from W. Germany, U.S.A. and Japan. Contents: Organizing ommittee. List of Contributors. List of Discussion Contributors. Foreword.
