| - 3 - Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} Lr{Mr Ellor}/AT.2/EAH.19.6.40. PROPOSED FUTURE PROGRAMME. 1. Assess the anti-seizing value of the Allison lubrication scheme. 2. Determine the relative anti-seizing properties of the following alloys :- (a) L.A.4. (repeat) (b) L.25.S. (c) L.20. 3. Determine the resistance of these alloys to break up by extended endurance running. 4. Vandervell bearings - check anti-seizing, fatigue and reduced oil supply properties. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/TAS{T. Allan Swinden}'s note. Lr{Mr Ellor}/AT. (P) Bearing passed rig test under T.V. conditions. (F) Bearing failed on rig test under T.V. conditions. | ||
