It is obvious, there fore. that the change can not always he made successfully when relining old hearings because the bearing may have been designed for a compara tively thick lining. However, it is pos sible to design and treat new bearings in such a wav that lead-base alloys will prove satisfactory almost invari ably and at lower cost than tin-base alloys.

The operations are carried through in rapid sequence and the re sult is a thin coating of tinning metal which bonds readilv with the liming. Other processes involve special ma chining and handling methods, chem ical cleaning or other means of pro viding scrupulously clean surfaces suitable for the application of the tinning metal. Whatever the method, the tinning must be continuous over the entire bearing if the application is to be successful.

In the automotive industry linings as thin as d.002 to 0.006 in. are employed, while larse hearings may have linings up to 0.02 in. thick or more. Generally the thinner the lining the heavier the loads it can carry and the more its life will be prolonged. Pouring tempera tures for the lead-base alloys are slightlv higher than for tin-base and clearances must be increased slightly, from 0.002 in. to 0.0025 in. per inch of shaft on bearings up to 5 in. in diameter. Lead-base alloys are being used sue- . cessfullv today in almost all kinds of bearing applications. Among these are automotive connecting rod, main and camshaft bearings. Diesel engine bear ings. steel mill bearings, railroad car journal bearings, all kinds of electric motor bearings and a variety of other industrial applications. Speeds range from 25 to 3600 r.p.m. and loads up to 2,000 lb. per sq. in. Such prominent industrial concerns as General Electric Company. Cooper- COOPER-BESSEM ER CORP. Lead-base bearing metals are per forming satisfactorily on stationery as well as marine Diesels Bessemer Corporation and Chrysler Corporation have been among the leaders in adapting lead-base alloys to their bearing requirements and have thus contributed immeasurably to war conservation. The accompanying table lists some lead-base bearing alloys together with some of their properties: Red Lead Paint for Water Tanks UBLISHED in the June 1943 num water is to soften slightly even the Pber of the Journal of the American most insoluble paint. Therefore it is Water Works Association is "Tenta best to have the final coat the hardest tive Recommended Practice--Repaint in order that the completed job will ing Elevated Steel Tanks and Water Storage Tanks". Under the heading "Kind of Paint" this document states "Underwater exposure involves a very severe service for paint. The paint which, in general, has given the best Red Lead paint has proved in service ht f/e most satisfactory for painting interiors of water storage tanks results for this service is red lead and linseed oil paint (weighing 21 to 24 lbs. per gal. 1 containing small amounts of litharge which acts as a hardener." The included proposed specification for quality of paint contains the re quirement that "two pounds of lith arge shall be added to each gallon of red lead paint" and requires that lith arge be added to the paint not more than one half day before it is to be applied. For under-water exposure it is best to reverse the usual painting proced ure of making each succeeding coat of paint softer than the preceding coat. The effect of continued immersion in CHICAGO BRIDGE AND IRON CO. 3-- -- be most water resistant. In the case of a three coat job the first coat may be a heavy red lead paint. The second coat one to which 8 per cent by weight of litharge has been added and the final coat one containing 10 per cent of litharge. Engineers recognized bv observation long ago that litharge, added to red lead paints immediately before appli cation to steel, produced a paint film that was highly resistant to damage by immersion in water. The reasons for the superior performance of litharge bearing red lead paint are of more re cent discovery. It has been found that litharge and linseed oil react readilv to form compounds known to chemists as "lead soaps". Red lead and linseed oil also form lead soaps but more slowly because red lead is less reac tive with linseed oil than is litharge. These compounds form on each par ticle in radiating tentacle form which tend to interlock with the tentacles of adjacent particles to give strength to the film. At the same time the oil is drying and it seems to become quite solid but it actually remains slightly elastic. For paints used on exteriors this elasticity is desirable but for un der-water exposures greater hardness is required. The formation of lead soaps on the litharge particles adsorbs some of the oil thus hardening the paint and making it more resistant to water. More recent studies of litharge-lin seed oil reactions seem to indicate that glycerine compounds in the oil mav separate from their organic com pounds and unite with the litharge, imparting additional hardne-s to the paints by forming the well known litharge-glvcerine cement commonlv used in industry. It is not necessary to give tank in teriors any further treatment before putting them into service; the red leadlitharge paint is complete protection. It is common practice to tint the sec ond coat w ith lamp-black, so that any "holidays" or missed areas will show up, and to return to the straight red lead color for the final coat. Litharge should not be used in the red lead on the outside of the tank which should be treated the same as any other steel structure.

Also the tendency of lead-coated steel samples to develop rust stains on the surface gave the impression that the coating did not cover completely and so would not give adequate protection. Color Research Recorded with White Lead Paint in Charleston Restoration More recent research and reference to some almost forgotten test samples still under exposure have shown that lead-coated ferrous sheets are remark ably durable and that they stand up well in severely corrosive atmo spheres. The surface rust stains which were once thought to be signs of in cipient breakdown have been found to be merely superficial. They disappear very soon when the microscopic pin holes which allowed them to form are filled and stopped by the products of oxidation.

S. 0. to make temporary head quarters in the house. Paint played a most important part in the interior decorations of the houses built in the early days of this country. The pallette available to the painter was limited by the available color pigments but this limitation was not a serious handicap to the tasteful selection of schemes of decoration. In restoring the Managault house special attention is being given to the colors used on the walls and wood work in order that the final result will be authentic in every way. The original paint was carefully studied for color as it was removed and the entire repainting of the in terior with pure white lead paint is being carried out in the same colors which the first occupants found to be suited to their taste. dje white lead is ideal for protecting the delicate detail of intricate carving and modeling. It flows on smoothly and covers thor oughly without building up at surfaceintersections. It is easy to tint to th*='exact shade desired and has a satiny texture that is neither flat nor glossy which will stand repeated cleaning. As a result of the careful study of the original colors, the beautiful and interesting color combinations through out the house will be as trulv authentic records its original beautv as the wood and plaster they adorn although the white lead paint that displays them will be new and fresh.

It conserve supplies of linseed and other drying oils and the War Production Board has issued Conservation Order M-332, effective July 1, restricting the amount of oil that may be used per gallon of paint to 3.75 pounds. This order applies to exterior house paints and interior and exterior structural steel paints. To bring about corres ponding savings of oil in paint mixed from paste or dry pigment on the job the order further limits the non-vola tile content of linseed oil delivered to users to approximately 70 per cent by weight. This means that oil used in LEAD comes to you this month without its usual en velope. Military needs and labor shortage are limiting the amount of paper available for civilian uses. We believe that LEAD is serving a useful purpose in publish ing information on the uses of materials and we expect to con tinue its publication. However, we wish to cooper ate in every possible way in all conservation measures and so we will dispense with the en velopes for the duration. We hope you will receive LEAD in good condition. will set up a little more quickly and will, therefore, have less tendency to collect dust during the drying period. There is no reason to expect that the use of linseed-replacement oil will change, materially, the durability of pure white lead paint. Experience has shown that long wearing paint films can be produced with less linseed oil than is commonly used. Painters often adjust their mixing formulas to suit the porosity of the surface to be paint ed without adversely affecting the durability of the paint. The limitations set up by Conservation Order M-332 were determined with the advice of representatives of the paint industry. They have been tested bv members of the industry as well as bv the Bureau of Standards. The linseed-replacement oil is a thoroughly dependable paint vehicle which will make it possible for property owners to carry on the vitally important work of building maintenance with the full advantage of the dependability of pure white lead paint. White lead pigment continues to be freely available. The results of Con servation Order M-332 will be to make the greatest possible amount of mix ing material available for turning it into first quality paint. t r a d e n a me s a n d n a me s o f ma n u f a c t u r e r s o f a r t ic l e s d e s c r ib e d i n l e a d a r e o mit t e d i n a c c o r d a n c e w i t h LEAD INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION POLICY.
