NEW DUNCAN DOWSON BOOK COULD BE A BEST‐SELLER Available to Purchase

JUST three years after tribology was first defined in a Department of Education and Science Report (1966), Professor Duncan Dowson set about writing a textbook on the subject. A member of Leeds University, he had been teaching lubrication and aspects of mechanics of machines since 1955, and tribology in its broadest sense since 1966 to MSc course students. The University itself is, of course, well‐known for its tradition, dating back to the last century, of research and teaching in friction, wear, lubrication and bearing design.
