Abstract
A CONSIDERABLE amount of the work at the Research Laboratories of the Institution of Automobile Engineers is being done for Government departments, and since it is of a confidential nature may not be shown to a visitor. Nevertheless, at the recent inspection of the laboratories by members of the Automobile Research Committee and representatives of affiliated firms, there were several important investigations to be seen in actual operation. Usually, work of this nature arises directly out of the problems of the industry either in the form of an explicit question such as that of the fatigue strength of crankshafts, or from the more nebulous query as to whether aeration of the lubricant is a determining factor in the cause of bearing troubles, and these two cases are representative of the work being done at the Institution's Laboratory.
