"Bearings And Bearing Metals" is a vintage treatise on bearings, dealing with different types of bearings, their compositions and properties, lubrication, design, and much more. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in mechanical engineering and its development over the centuries. Contents include: "Friction on Oily Surfaces in Contact", "Film Friction", "Intermediate Friction", "Coefficient of Friction", "The Influence of the Lubricant", "The Point of Delivery of the Oil", "The Influence of the Speed", "The Influence of the Bearing Pressure", "The Influence of the Temperature", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction.
