Abstract
Abstract A new general program for experimental work and publications recently formulated by the Committee is outlined in this report, and is followed by a brief statement of results already accomplished. Particular attention has been given to the coordination of data obtained by various investigators on viscosity under high pressure, to the study of pressure distribution in the oil film as applied to both thrust bearings and journal bearings, and to the development of methods for measuring oiliness. From experiments on the flow of liquids through very fine glass and platinum capillaries, it appears that the ordinary laws of viscosity may safely be relied upon down to a film thickness at least as small as one-millionth of an inch. The report concludes with a brief review of recent European investigations.
