A self-contained air bearing apparatus to demonstrate the performance of self-acting gas lubricated journal bearings including the phenomenon of half-speed whirl.

A self-contained unit for practical examination of Hertz' theories of contact between materials. It demonstrates on a large scale the nature of contact between non-conforming bodies. For example: between the ball and race in a bearing.

A bench mounting Michell pad apparatus to demonstrate the principle characteristics of a tilting pad slider bearing.

A self-contained floor standing apparatus to fully investigate the effects of speed viscosity and load on the pressure distribution in a journal bearing.
