GREASE TESTING

Abstract

A RECENT CONTRIBUTION to Scientific Lubrication has drawn attention to early work done by Metropolitan‐Vickers Electrical Company Limited in the field of grease‐testing. In his paper ‘The Mechanical Evaluation of Lubricating Greases’ J. H. Harris has referred to the M‐V.E. Co's recent work on the practical rig testing of greases for the lubrication of Rolling Bearings. It may be asked why a firm manufacturing electrical equipment should shew such interest in a subject apparently far removed from its normal activities. In this article an attempt is made to give the basic reasons for the interest displayed, and to describe some of the work which has been done.
