Abstract
Special damping rollers, capable of damping oscillations of rotating shafts without adding a steady load, were first devised by Prof. H. A. Rowland. These rollers had either an annular channel along the periphery filled with a liquid, or a wheel mounted loosely on a shaft coaxially fixed in an outer shell, the interspace being filled with a liquid. The theory of the action of such rollers in reducing fluctuations in the speed of rotation caused by disturbances from either the load or the driving side is developed and the results are illustrated by graphs. A new form of roller is described in which liquid filling an annular channel within the shell of the roller is coupled to the shell by a mechanical resistance.
