Lubrication by Texas Co. and Texaco & Texaco Star Magazine

I was cleaning up a book shelf in my shop and came across a 1959 hard bound copy of “Lubrication” by Texaco that had belonged to my father .
It had been on the shelf for a long time and hadn’t remembered looking at it before .
After noticing some articles in it that I thought some others might like to see I wondered if there would be any copies on line
There are several older volumes that can be seen on line here.

Since there are often questions about lubrication for older machines on this forum maybe there will be some answers to the composition of the older named lubricants recommended for some older machines so a comparable modern equivalent can be chosen .
The volume I have is limited search only .
I started scrolling through some older ones and have posted links to some pages relating to topics I have seen covered on the forum in the past or that may be of interest to some of you .
