LUBRICATION OF THE R.A.E. HIGH SPEED WIND TUNNEL

Abstract

A NEW 8 ft. × 8 ft. HIGH‐SPEED WIND tunnel recently inaugurated by the Ministry of Supply at the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Bedford is to be used for aerodynamic research on models of aircraft and guided missiles. It is claimed to be the largest and most advanced wind tunnel of its type in Western Europe. Responsibility for the design and construction of this wind tunnel has been a partnership between Ministry of Works engineers and architects, Ministry of Supply scientists and engineers, Lloyds Register of Shipping, the English Electric Company Ltd., and other main contractors and a large number of sub‐contractors. We are interested in the lubrication of this job and in particular, lubrication of the compressor.
