Both Room Temperature and outside Temperature are greatly in favor of a reduction in friction.

The Relative Humidity during the second test (62.27 per cent.) was 4.97 per cent. higher, which would mean that the power should be higher, due to this cause, than during the first test, if everything else was equal.

As this test stands, however, the higher Relative Humidity probably will equalize the effect of the considerable increase in Room Temperature.

Results Between the First Test and the Third Test.

The Effect of Temperature or the Difference Between the Second

and Third Tests.

.

The Humidity was practically the same, 62.27 per cent. for the Second Test and,

62.0 per cent. for the Third Test. A reduction of, .

13.86 °C.(59.8 per cent.) Outside temperature effects the inside temperature so that it falls, ....

5.56 °C. (22.2 per cent.) This reduction in room temperature increases the total power,

8.86 P.S. or 3 per cent. On this one mill it appears that a reduction in room temperature of 5.56 °C. increases the power 3 per cent.

This is not allowing for the fact that the bearings always run to better advantage after having been lubricated with a good oil. This is proven by the fact that the actual temperatures of the spindles (the difference between the total temperature and the room temperature), which is a good indication of their frictional losses, were 11.5 °C. for the first test, 4.8 °C. for the second test, and 3.15 °C. for the third test.
