Abstract
Further work on a solid film lubricant testing apparatus designed
and built by M. M. Sampsel was carried out. A power supply was constructed
and a sputtered gold film applied to various portions of the
apparatus. A torsion bridge was installed and calibrated to determine
tooth contact forces. Calibration of strain gages installed to determine
tooth radial forces was attempted but difficulties were encountered
in determining a strain reading for the unstressed condition. Based on
this work, recommendations for design changes were made.
