Abstract
In this novel use of interferometry the film shape of a thrust bearing can be determined to a very high degree of accuracy by making the runner of glass and coating it with a semi-reflecting chrome layer. The runner is loaded by a hydrostatic bearing immediately above the experimental pad. By making the chamber of the hydrostatic recess of glass and by using the fact that glass and oil have almost the same refractive index, fringes between the tilting pad and the chrome layer can be obtained. The heat conduction through the pad was found to be important. The agreement between the experimental film shape and that calculated in part I is surprisingly good. It is only the very complete map of the film shape that allows the detailed comparison of theory and experiment to be made.
