"Major NASA research and NASA-sponsored research in solid-film lubricants are reviewed and various aspects of solid lubrication are discussed including: lubricating solids, bonded lubricants, new developments, methods of evaluation, environmental effects, application methods, novel materials, and designs for the use of solid lubricants. The appendices deal with solid lubricant specifications and contact stresses imposed on specimens in three types of test machines."--Foreword.
