The friction of fibre lubricated with different amounts of solid paraffine has been studied on light loading. It was found that solid paraffine has qualitatively the same effect on the friction as that of liquid lubricant.
1) The adhesive force can not be neglected at light loading, however small it may be.
2) When the large amount of lubricant is applied, the shearing of lubricant needs to be taken into consideration outside of deformed surface of asperity.
