URGENT TASKS IN TRIBOLOGY: in Canada (and elsewhere)

The following is an address made by Professor C. A. Brockley at the ASME/ASLE Joint Lubrication Conference held in Montreal last October. Professor Brockley is Chairman of the Associate Committee on Tribology of the National Research Council of Canada, and Professor of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C. It Is reprinted by kind permission of the American Society of Lubrication Engineers. The problems associated with tribology education in Canada, and the methods adopted to overcome them are very similar to those we have experienced in this country. Joint co‐operation between the ASLE, the ASME's Tribology section, the Canadian Committee on Tribology and our own Committee on Tribology will hasten worldwide appreciation of our subject.
