PERFORMANCE OF

LUBRICATING OILS, by H. H. Zuidema. 179 pages, diagrams, 16 X 24 cm. New York, Reinhold Publishing Corp., 1952. Price, $5

.00. This is an excellent text for reference for anyone directly concerned with the research and development of lubricating oils. It covers in great detail all of the important physical and chemical reactions of such oils and has an index for easy reference.

The author has viewed each reaction discussed with a completely open mind. He states all of the significant theories given to explain the various phenomena and cites experiments which have been performed to support or disprove them. Most of his subject matter is devoted to the basic molecular behavior of lubricating oils under laboratory conditions rather than to the practical end results with which the production engineer is concerned. This is a book which will be of great interest to the theorist. Its value to any readers other than those specifically mentioned above is somewhat in doubt due to the extent of the detail.
