THIS PAPER OUTLINES HOW REDUCTION OF FRICTION IN MODERN HIGH-PRODUCTION MACHINERY PLAYS AN INCREASING ROLE IN ATTAINING UNINTERRUPTED PRODUCTION AND SUBSEQUENT SAVINGS IN A COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT. EMPHASIS IS PLACED ON THE IMPORTANCE AND BENEFITS OF DESIGNING A CENTRALIZED LUBRICATION SYSTEM THAT CAN MEET THE IDEAL LUBE NEEDS OF AN INDIVIDUAL MACHINE. THE EVOLUTION OF CENTRALIZED SYSTEMS IS COVERED AND THE FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF THESE SYSTEMS ARE HIGHLIGHTED. FACTORS AFFECTING THE SELECTION OF LUBRICATING SYSTEMS ARE REVIEWED, AND CASE HISTORIES ILLUSTRATE HOW SPECIALLY DESIGNED LUBRICATION SYSTEMS OVERCAME PROBLEMS NORMALLY RELATED TO MACHINERY IN PARTICULAR INDUSTRIES.
