        Review of the theories of lubrication and the possible sources of suitable raw materials for the production of lubricating oils.  One of the best sources seems to be those heavy fractions (200°-300° C.) of synthetic hydrocarbons from Fischer-Tropsch process designated as Kogasin, which are rich enough in higher olefins to be converted into excellent oils by polymerization.
