A GENERAL classification of solid lubricants as well as a discussion of properties, application, and theories has been the subject of numerous investigations (3,5,6,8,9,12). Methods for utilizing solid film lubricants for ball bearing applications (7) have also been investigated. Experimental data on organic resin-bonded solid films indicated that film stability decreases with increase in tem-

This paper describes a research investigation encompassing a study of the combination of lubricant materials, bearings, and design criteria for the long-term operation of mechanical systems with self-contained non-fluid lubricants. The feasibility of providing an oil-free lubricated internal-combustion engine was established.
