Wrappers (Paperbound). Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Previous owner's name in ink, pencil mark on front cover, Very Good.

Soft cover. Condition: Good. Green soft covers with yellowed writing and bands on the front cover and spine which are unmarked. Previous owners name is on the upper edge of the front cover. Spine is heavily sunned. Covers exhibit light wear on corners, edges and spine ends. Light creasing to the upper corner of the back cover and the front edge of the front cover. Light soiling and shelf wear to the covers. Light yellowing to page ends and text. Text is otherwise clean and unmarked. Inside hinges are cracked but still firmly attached. The books objectives are to "present an exposition of the fundamentals of friction and wear, fluid film bearings and rolling-element bearings. Also to demonstrate through discussion of selected research results, how fundamental principles can be applied to the solution of unique and advanced bearing problems involving environment factors such as extreme temperature, radiation, high vacuum and corrosive fluids." All books are individually examined and described. Never ex-lib unless stated.

Ausman and Chapter 7 on Liquid Lubricants was by Douglas H. Moreton. All other chapters were written by one or the other of the principal authors. Bisson retired from NASA in 1973 and was noted as the scientist who decades earlier had introduced Tribology to the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics (the predecessor of NASA.) A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the desired motion, and reduces friction between moving parts. The design of the bearing may, for example, provide for free linear movement of the moving part or for free rotation around a fixed axis; or, it may prevent a motion by controlling the vectors of normal forces that bear on the moving parts. Most bearings facilitate the desired motion by minimizing friction. Bearings are classified broadly according to the type of operation, the motions allowed, or to the directions of the loads (forces) applied to the parts. Rotary bearings hold rotating components such as shafts or axles within mechanical systems, and transfer axial and radial loads from the source of the load to the structure supporting it. The simplest form of bearing, the plain bearing, consists of a shaft rotating in a hole. Lubrication is often used to reduce friction. In the ball bearing and roller bearing, to prevent sliding friction, rolling elements such as rollers or balls with a circular cross-section are located between the races or journals of the bearing assembly. A wide variety of bearing designs exists to allow the demands of the application to be correctly met for maximum efficiency, reliability, durability and performance. The term "bearing" is derived from the verb "to bear"; a bearing being a machine element that allows one part to bear (i.e., to support) another. The simplest bearings are bearing surfaces, cut or formed into a part, with varying degrees of control over the form, size, roughness and location of the surface. Other bearings are separate devices installed into a machine or machine part. The most sophisticated bearings for the most demanding applications are very precise devices; their manufacture requires some of the highest standards of current technology.
