I-- Abrasives
Evaluation of grinding wheels. C. Krug. Wrrkstattstech u
.Vascbmenbau. 41 [3] 88-91 (1951); abstracted in Bibliot . Ind Diamond Applications, 8 (June) 330 (1951).--Definitions of grinding power, grinding effect, useful life, hardness of grinding heels, grinding time, abrasive material consumption, and grain disintegration are given. Difficulties arise when the quality of the grinding wheel is denoted by performance standards. When
wheels of different makes are compared, the workpiece feed must oe kept constant. Economic working capacity is derived, and an estimation of grinding costs is attempted. These considerattons refer mainly to roughing, where the main objective is the re moval of a large quantity of material from the workpiece The Possibility of introducing a one-grade grinding wheel is discounted unless new abrasive materials can be produced with i hardness between that of silicon carbide and diamond or unless diamond prices are reduced. Qualities are compared, and the influence of
working conditions is considered. 3 references, 2 illustrations. - Methods of testing abrasion and wear in the Netherlands. P.
Braber and G. Salomon. Engineering, 173 (4506) 725-30 (1952). Details of the testing of fibers, textiles, building ma terials, paring brick, etc., are given. 16 figures. 2 tables.
A.H.A. Survey of the International Symposium on Abrasion and Wear
(Delft, Holland, Nov. 1951). H. C. J. deDecker. Engineering
173 (4505) 699-700 (1952).--Papers dealt with types of material
(surface, rigidity of the bulk, and modulus of the wearing
materials), basic factors promoting wear (mechanical attack,
chemical attack, fatigue phenomena, and heating), and factor
counteracting wear (reduction of wearing forces, choice of resists
ing materials, and surface finishing). Examples and discussion
are included.

Earliest blue and white wares of China: L Shinzo Skixae
and Warren E. Cox. Par Eastern Ceram. Bull., 1949, Xo. 7,
pp. 12-17.--Underglaze blue designs on white porcelain ip-'
peared In early Ming times, not as a new art but as a modified
technique using a blue pigment instead of the black which had
been common in Sung times for underglazc painting. Examples
of what the authors think are the earliest recognizable types of
blue and white are cited, and some details of the decoration are
analyzed. 10 illustrations. IL Ibid., 1950, Xo. 9. pp. 40-50.--
Comments are made on P art I. It is proposed to call an un
known artist of the Yuan to early Ming period "M aster of the
David Vases." Several vessels attributed to this artist are de-
so tb ed and illustrated as well as some copied in his manner.
From evidence in the designs it is wmiwvt th a t the artist was
probably a western painter working in China. Tbc significance
and origin of the grape, melon, and morning glory as decorative
motifs are discussed. 9 illustrations.

pocket of molten glass infolding therein the batch material.
5. A device for charging batch materials comprises a movable
rabble, mechanism operatively associated with the rabble to move
it cyclically along a closed path within a portion of the glass fur- _
uace, e.g., within a doghouse, so that the rabble is partially im
mersed in the molten glass of the furnace for a part of its travel
and is moved above the molten glass level for the remainder of iu
travel along the path, and a batch-feeding derice arranged to j
supply a regular flow of batch to the glass furnace directly behind
and adjacent to the point on the path a t which the rabble begins
its cycle of movements.
