The symposium brought out that most of the present tribological problems in the textile industry are due to higher bearing loads and speeds resulting from increasing use of fewer, higher production, machines. The answer lies partly in improvements to existing bearings and systems; but often unconventional materials, such as those based on porous metals and plastics, in spite of the new problems they pose, may provide the best solutions.

Abbey Pitman (3rd edn, 1962), 265pp, 17s. 6d This book in the Pitman Automobile Maintenance Series was first published in 1950 and no doubt at that time was reasonably up to date. But revisions made for subsequent editions do not appear to have kept up with changing practices and designs in vehicle diesel engines.

After a promising start in which diesel principles and fault
