research consortium supported by several firms in the industry. Most of its funding is used to provide financial aid for

.Sc. and Ph.. students working on thesis projects related to gears and gearing. INFAC, major project funded largely by the Federal Government, was begun in October 1 to advance the manufacturing and process capabilities of the .. gear industry as well as the precision 3 Letter to the Commission from ASME-GRI, Jan. 3, 1. machining and manufacturing industries. Its funding, valued at $2.0 million for 3 years with 2-year option valued at $1.6 million, is being provided by the .. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), with art additional $8.0 million in contributions from State and industry sources. This program consists of construction demonstration factory, education and training, industrial extension or technology transfer, and special research and development tasks. The & component of this program, funded at $4.0 million for the first 3 years, will select projects by means of research review board made up of industry and academic representatives. Such projects will be balanced between those that can apply technology at once and those that address long-term basic issues? Another major Federal research program is centered at NASA' Lewis Research Center, which has had an ongoing research program for aircraft mechanical components since the early 1s. Although the budget remained at about $5,0 annually during 1 ,-8, anew project relating to transmissions for helicopters and funded at $1.0 million by the .. Army is being conducted during 1-9.
