The United Kingdom

The object of the Geological Survey is to ascertain in detail the geological structure of the United Kingdom, and to publish the results in maps, sections, and descriptive memoirs. The Ordnance maps form the groundwork on which these geological investigations proceed; and as no district is examined until these maps are ready, the progress of the Geological Survey is guided in no small degree by that of the Ordnance engineers. In Scotland, the geological mapping has hitherto been conducted wholly upon the county maps on the scale of six inches to a mile, and the advantages of so large a scale are such, that although the work is finally reduced and published on the scale of one inch to a mile, no county is surveyed until its six-inch maps are ready for use.

The paper reviews the present state of knowledge and design techniques and attempts to provide a physical appreciation of the characteristics of bearing performance. The work which has been carried out recently in the United Kingdom, the United States, The Netherlands and Germany is examined and the paper attempts to relate this to experimental results and the practical engine. The possible relationships of components within the engine which affect the conditions of operation and parameters which could lead to improvement of these conditions are suggested and examined, and the possibilities of future work in exploring this area are indicated.
