The actuator mechanism for the horizontal stabiliser was located high in the tailplane area. A critical component was an acme threaded rod running in a bronze bush, difficult to lubricate owing to its small access hatch. The airline had extended the intervals for this task.

As pointed out by Dowson (1), Stanton was aware of the essential features of elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication which may have influenced his decision to use high values of clearance and thus of eccentricity ratio in his tests. In his 1922 report to the Committee he described a series of tests on a steel journal one inch in diameter and three inches long which ran in a phosphor-bronze bush. Pressure was measured through a single hole in the bush which was rotated between successive readings. 

Fig. 3 shows the design of a modern lead pipe press. It has a bottom cylinder platen a which is positively connected to the top counterplaten c by means of four columns 6. The plunger d runs in a bronze bush in the cylinder and travels over a mandrel-bar holder e which is rigidly secured in the base of the cylinder. Sealing of the plunger in the cylinder and on... 

The cylinder bottom is given a heavily rounded and, if possible, a spherical shape ). For water-hydraulic systems, the cylinder is fitted with a bronze bush in which the operating plunger is guided, and with a radi-... 

It is true that good surface preparation is the key to successful adhesive bonding, but a few products have been developed that are oil tolerant. Loctite 603 for instance will retain oil-impregnated porous bronze bushes.
