Work published in Russian is well represented. Naturally the abstracts are more complete for papers in German (not only from Germany!) than in other languages. Only a few systematic errors are obvious: conference volumes should be quoted by the name of the editor(s) and not as N.N.! If a second non-alphabetical entry is desired, a dash rather t.han the abbreviation N.N. should be used. The correct spelling of names deserves more attention in future volumes. This unit of four volumes can be recommended to newcomers who intend to start with a literature review and to specialists who wish to enter a new field. The time saved in searching the literature will certainly justify the purchase of these and future volumes. “BAM-Documentation” could form a valuable nucleus for international exchange between documentation centres. The world’s leading annual lubrication (including wear) review is published by ASME. The number of references has grown from 80 (1949) to 400 (1966/67). These titles are digested and edited by a mere half-dozen technologists in the U.S.A. This team would probably suffer no indigestion if BAM could feed them with more continental material and receive, in exchange, the latest titles for inclusion in BAM’s bibliography. This comment underlines also the limitations of any German efforts in documentation. Good digests of recent German literature in English (the last one by Kara covers only 1957-60) are badly needed in order to promote crossfertilization of ideas. Wear, IO (1967) 4’7-419

This German journal dedicated to the study of damage and failure of machines is little known outside Germany. Volume 40 (1967) contains as usual a wealth of interesting information on methods for studying and recording specific causes of damage. At least half of the 150 entries in the r966 index are of some interest to tribologists. Some of the contributions describe “analytical” methods. Issue No. ~/IO of Vol. 3g (1966) contains an outline of photographic techniques for recording damaged surfaces. Such work is performed in a special laboratory for the prevention of machine damage (Ismaning, near Munich). Issue No. I of Vol. 40 (1967) contains the latest of a series of communications by F. Hanisch (Hannover) on the preparation of surface replicas, e.g. of damaged gears. In addition to the journal Allianz-Versicherungs A.G. also publishes Allianz Berichte, in German. Issue No. I (1965) on “fretting corrosion” by A. A. BARTEL and issue No. 2 (1965) on “damage to gears and the influence of lubricants” by F. Hanisch are of great interest to our readers. It would certainly be useful to have these German contributions to tribology translated into other languages. Institut fiir FBrdertechnik und Schienenfahrzeuge der TH Aachen, Gevmany. (Ind.-Anzeiger, 89 (3) (1967) IO.) This new Institute for transportation technology and rail vehicles was built up after the war by Professor M. Fink. The survey gives a detailed description of the topics treated by Professor Fink and his students. Fink was the first in Germany to analyse fretting corrosion. His work on the role of oxide films in steel is of renewed significance (Trans. Am. Sac. Steel Treating, 18 (1930) 1026-1034 and Trans. Am. Sot. Metals, (1935) 577-613.) This classic work is still studied in his laboratory and a series of reports (in German) dealing with the role of oxidation in the friction of copper, the influence of oxygen and of humidity on fretting, the production of wear-resistant surfaces by nitriding, etc. are mentioned in this survey.

A new journal in Polish, vvith abstracts in English, is issued by the Polish Academy. The first part contains about a dozen papers in the field of tribology. None of the problems, nor the solutions found, seem to be specifically original for Poland. Very few papers published in other countries are quoted. A list of 624 titles contains ail the work published between 1945 and rg64 in Poland, During the last few years about 60 papers have been published annually. United
