The blocks were tested by means of a thermometer inthe blocks themselves-that was, a hole was drilled in the block so that the actual temperature was obtained as near the face as possible.

The explanation of a block pivoted in front of the theoretical point working a t all was probably that the rise in temperature in the oil-film passing under theblock reduced its viscosity and thereby its ability to support the trailing edge...
