Summary. Reduction on the total load of the mill due to more perfect lubrication is, ...

101.0 P. S. or 8.89 per cent. Reduction of the Engine and Transmission load 34.5 P. S. or 9.51 per cent. This reduction will insure the engine starting easier

in the morning, and especially Monday

morning. Engine speed increases,

•39 R.P.M. This represents an increased speed of .

6 per cent. to the Mill and equals about that much in

creased production. Temperature of all bearings tested reduced from

4.1 °C to 8.9 °C due to better lubrication. Relative Humidity was the same during both Tests. Room Temperature against a Reduction in Power,
