Sommario/riassunto

Extensive field test data have been obtained which can serve as a basis for evaluating the ability of various laboratory methods to predict the shear stability of multigrade crankcase oils. This basis was developed by determining the average viscosity changes of one single grade and twelve multigrade reference oils in six separate car fleets. The twelve multigrade oils were formulated with all of the chemical types of VI improvers currently in use, or likely to be used, in the near future.

Sommario/riassunto

"The French National Convention election elected the National Convention The election was held in September and were the first to be held under universal suffrage. An absolute majority of the deputies elected belonged to the Marais party, a political faction of vague but largely moderate policies. The Montagnards or Jacobins received 200 seats and the republican, though more moderate Girondin faction 160 seats. The election preceded the fall of the Gironde as a political faction, mainly because of the political and social unrest following the war started by the Girondist-dominated government in the spring of 1792. Turnout was only 10%."--Wikipedia.
