Abstract

The concept of operating bearings and gears unlubricated in a helium environment was questioned as to fundamental soundness. Tests were made to determine if immediate gross failure occurs. A bearing of standard manufacture was operated in helium for 42 hr. A high degree of gradual wear was encountered. No gross or sudden failures were found. (W.L.H.)
