Foster's Group (FGL) is a brewing and wine company with a global presence, and whose core operations include Carlton and United Breweries, Beringer Blass Wine Estates, and Fosters International.
Foster's Australia is involved in the manufacture and sale of beer, spirits, ciders and other beverage products. The company also operates four major breweries across Australia.
FGL has experienced difficulties over the last two years, mainly owing to its underperforming wine division, after the group took over Southcorp in 2005.
The company today impressed the market with plans to demerge its beer and wine division, which will cost the group up to $1.3 billion in a one-off charge, but makes excellent strategic long-term sense. The decision also appears to make FGL one of the shares to buy.
FGL's underlying FY earnings forecast is between $1.05 billion-$1.08 billion, roughly in line with market forecasts.
The Wine Whine
Over the course of the global economic downturn, FGL suffered from customers moving away from its wine offerings and instead selecting beer as a low-cost alcoholic beverage.
Over FY09, FGL's best-performing business was its Pacific Beer, Cider and Spirits division. The business contributed the greatest share of earnings, with sales revenues up 2.5% on FY08, and net earnings increasing 2.9%.
FGL undertook a review of its wine business after a disappointing performance following its takeover of winemaker Southcorp, during the bull market but also in the midst of a global grape glut.
FGL decided its Aussie operations would be split into wine and beer and management, as the group closed three wineries in Australia and California.
The group's wine business review was exhaustive over FY09, and lead to the creation of an Australian beer, cider and spirits business, renamed Carlton and United Breweries, and a stand-alone dedicated Australian and New Zealand wine business.
A shift away from on-premise consumption and luxury wines, and higher costs of sales, reduced FY09 wine earnings by 7.3% to $363.9 million.
A Welcome Demerger
Over the end of last year and into this year, market concerns surrounding FGL have focused on its underperforming wine division.
Today, FGL tackled its wine unit concerns by announcing plans to demerge beer from its underperforming wine operations, with separate listings for the two arms.
CEO Ian Johnson noted that the group's wine business is showing signs of growth, but continues to be impacted by oversupply in Australia, subdued consumer demand in key international markets and a strong Aussie dollar during FY10 (which, fortunately for FGL, has seen a sharp slide of late).
We expect FGL to allocate a smaller proportion of debt to its wine business post demerger, as the wine business has significantly weaker cashflow compared to the beer business, along with more uncertainty in its near term earnings outlook.
There is likely to be significant valuation upside on FGL if the company can be valued as two separate entities. It will also open the door for merger & acquisition opportunities for both entities, which could unlock more value for shareholders.
A demerger could be very beneficial to FGL. It could increase transparency, allowing investors to more appropriately value each business over time.
A demerger will also allow for flexibility for separate boards and management of Beer & Wine to develop their own corporate strategies and implement capital structures that are business-appropriate.
FGL's stock rose today on the demerger plans, despite news that the demerger will result in writedowns of up to $1.3 billion on the carrying value of its wine business.
The group said the demerger is unlikely to be implemented until 1H11 at the earliest.
A Hapless Half
On 16 February, FGL reported its 1H results, failing to buoy market sentiment.
Net profit dropped 13.5% on last year to $355.7 million, below analysts' expectations for $380.6 million.
Total operating revenue for the half fell 4.7% to $2.4 billion whilst FGL declared a dividend of 12 cents per share, flat on the same half last year.
Net sales of wine fell in every region, amounting to a 14% decline in underlying earnings, whilst the beer division was more positive, gaining 6.6% to underlying profit of $486.4 million.
Though FGL's 1H10 results failed to impress the market, today's news of its plans to demerge beer from its underperforming wine operations, with separate listings for the two arms, was well-received.
Strategically, splitting the operations into two businesses is appealing. There will be short-term negatives associated with the demerger, including a non-cash pretax impairment charge of up to $1.3 billion as well as dividend issues (such as timing and payment).
However, the demerger makes strategic sense and is likely to be a positive for FGL going forward. It may even open up an opportunity for a takeover of FGL's beer operations, as the global brewing sector is in a consolidation phase.
FGL also today confirmed underlying earnings are expected to be $1.05 billion-$1.08 billion, roughly in line with market forecasts.
In terms of it being one of the shares to buy, the generally defensive nature of FGL's business, and revenues, is the company's major appeal in the current climate, as it manages to draw in consumers owing to its famed brand names.

Improve Lubricant Performance in Harsh Environments
Use These Steps to Introduce New Lubes
The process of introducing new lubricants to your plant calls for great care, communication, and attention to details.
By Ken Bannister, MEch Eng (UK), CMRP, MLE, Contributing Editor
New lubricants are introduced into plant environments every day. There can be several reasons behind this type of move: a purchase-cost-reduction or purchase-bid program; new equipment for which the manufacturer's specified lubricant isn't currently stocked on site; promotion of a specialty lubricant as a way to solve a specific equipment problem; or some form of lubrication-management initiative. Unfortunately, most new lubricants are introduced in an informal, non-controlled manner with little or no communication between the reliability/maintenance, engineering and/or purchasing departments—or much consideration of the impact that the new product can, and will, have on the maintenance and operation of the physical plant.
With no structured lubrication program in place, the mixing of lubricants—greases and oils—can be endemic. This situation is a major cause of lubricant and premature bearing failure due to the cross contamination of base oils and/or additive packages. For example, a product containing acidic additives added to one containing base or alkaline additives can very quickly neutralize a lubricant's effectiveness and protection ability, often resulting in catastrophic failure. Anyone who has toiled over implementing a lubrication-management program knows that allowing a new lubricant into a plant environment must be formalized and controlled. This process is not necessarily easy.
An essential part of any quality lubrication-management program is an initial consolidation process that reviews and documents all current lubricant products on site, where they are used, and how they are stored, handled, transferred, and delivered to minimize contamination of lubricants and bearings. This essential engineering process, performed by the lubricant manufacturer, looks for opportunities where more modern, often less expensive, products can be standardized for use across the site to replace all redundant, unsafe, and out-of-date oils and greases, and minimize the number required to operate the plant safely and effectively. In many facilities, the number of lubricants stocked and used after consolidation can be less than half the original count. For this standardization to begin, the consolidation process must determine all possible lubricant compatibility issues and propose suitable engineered lubricant change-out/flushing operating procedures.
Once a list of new lubricants is finalized, the plant must take the following steps to formalize the program:
- Prepare a formal approved-lubricant list for purchasing-department personnel and set up a blanket purchase-order for the approved products.
- Inform all affected stakeholders of the impending change(s) to an approved-lubricant list.
- Remove all non-approved lubricant stock from the plant.
- Develop a stock rotation/control procedure for all approved lubricants.
- Obtain up-to-date MSDS sheets for all approved lubricants and remove all non-approved MSDS sheets.
- Purchase dedicated (color-coded) storage and transfer equipment for all approved lubricants.
- Purchase labels for all approved lubricant reservoirs.
- Change all lubrication filters.
- Develop a lubricant change-out flushing procedure and systematically change out all non-approved lubricants in all machine reservoirs; re-label reservoirs.
- Update lubricant-inventory-control software with lube specification, supplier, manufacturer, code numbers, min/max levels, and inventory-turn rate.
- Update affected preventive-maintenance (PM) job tasks in the CMMS (computerized maintenance-management system) to reflect new lubricant changes.
- Update any recommended changes to PM schedules in the CMMS.
- Update equipment manuals to reflect new lubricant changes.
- Update Bill of Materials (BOMs) in the CMMS.
- Update changes to the lubricant disposal procedure.
- Update any changes to reporting requirements in the CMMS.
- Perform staff training for change awareness, product handling and safety issues, and product disposal.
- Inform production.
- Develop a new-lubricant trial/approval procedure for any non-approved oil or grease introduced into the plant.
After a consolidation program has been implemented, only approved lubricants can be brought into the plant for regular use. This policy, however, does not exclude introduction of a new lubricant into the plant on a trial basis. Should a new lubricant trial be required, a formal request must be made to the reliability/maintenance group by completing a "Lubricant Trial Request Form." That group, in turn, will oversee the lubricant trial.
Typical trial-request-form attributes
A good trial-request form should have enough relevant information to enable the trial to take place and collect enough relevant data from which a yes/no approval decision can be made upon the trial's completion. The form must elicit answers to all of the W5 questions—Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How—and document the test results. (This translates to seven sections total.)
- Who? Contains the name, title, department, and contact details of the trial requestor, as well as details of the lubricant supplier and manufacturer name and primary contact persons. It also provides the person(s), title(s), and department performing the trial.
- What? Contains the trial lubricant specification data that will include its name, oil or grease, base-oil type, viscosity, VI (viscosity index) rating, additives, virgin-oil sample datasheet #/attachment, MSDS sheet, expected compatibility issues with other approved products, seals, and production raw materials.
- When? Contains the expected trial duration, along with commencement and completion dates.
- Where? Contains equipment type or specific
equipment number of the machine on which the lubricant is to be tested.
- Why? Details reasons for the lubricant trial, in what way it will benefit the trial equipment and expected results, such as temperature reduction, energy reduction, life-increase expectation of lubricant and/or bearing surfaces and sustainability, and what bearing-failure reduction the trial is expected to accomplish.
- How? Documents the actual test procedure specifics, including lubricant disposal after the test and the conditions to be tested, i.e., amperage draw, temperature of bearings/lubricant, and lubrication-system pressure (cold and hot running).
- Results? Details findings data and conclusions relevant to the test, including before and after data readings, photos, infrared images, vibration readings, risk/benefit analysis, a return-on-investment statement, and a recommendation for approving or not approving the lubricant for purchase and use in the plant.
Be sure to alert plant personnel whenever a lubricant trial is being performed. Communicate this fact by placing a placard or sign on the equipment that states "Machine Under Test with New [insert name] Lubricant." (Specifically call out the name of the lubricant). Make operators aware of such tests and notify maintenance personnel of anything unusual regarding noise, vibration, smell, and leakage during the procedure.
Before proceeding with any lubricant trial, always consult with manufacturer(s) of your approved lubricants to establish:
- whether they have already performed a compatibility test of the trial product with your approved lubricants.
- if, as suppliers of your approved lubricant, they have a comparable product available to test, or that you may already stock. You should also contact trial-lubricant manufacturer personnel and ask if they have conducted any compatibility tests with your approved lubricants. If no testing has taken place, you can ask if any party is willing to test compatibility on your behalf.
- In the case of new oils, when no compatibility information is available or forthcoming—and you are unable to establish compatibility—you can perform your own testing, as follows:
- Take samples of both lubricants and blend three mixed samples in ratios of 50:50, 90:10, and 10:90.
- Send the three mixed samples to an oil-analysis laboratory and have them tested for filterability, sediment, and color/clarity. Also ask the lab to perform an RPVOT (rotating pressure-vessel oxidization test) to determine the new lubricant's resistance to oxidation, and a storage-stability comparison.
- For accurate results, tests should be performed three times and the results normalized.
- Ask the lab to assist you in determining any cross-contamination risk.
- Share the test results with the manufacturer of the new lubricant and ask for a change-out/flush procedure.
Note that an RPVOT can be quite expensive to perform. Thus, in the case of non-critical equipment, and if you won't need to complete a large number of lubricant changeovers, you could forego the RPVOT and simply ask the manufacturer of a new lubricant to recommend a neutral flushing oil.
In the case of new greases, similar steps are followed. The process starts by blending mixed samples of new and existing greases in 75:25 and 25:75 ratios, and sending them to an oil-analysis lab to test for consistency, dropping point, and shear stability.
If a new-lubricant trial is deemed successful, and none of your existing approved lubricants can perform the required job, the new product can be accepted as an "approved" lubricant. The acceptance process, however, calls for the reliability/maintenance group to once again go through the appropriate steps listed above to formally integrate the new lubricant into your plant. MT

Lithium Grease
CorrLube VpCI EP grease is lithium complex grease formulated with premium quality, severely hydro treated base stock. Said to provide excellent resistance to oxidation and with high temperature stability, it is suitable for operating and lay-up conditions. The formula is designed with properties that protect against salt water, brine, H2S, HC1, and other corrosive agents. It also incorporates Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors (VpCI) for areas not in direct contact with the grease. The grease remains effective in extreme operating conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, and shock loading, and aids in the suspension of solid additives such as graphite, molybdenum, and disulfide. Thicker film consistency allows it to operate on worn parts.

Prevent Motor-Bearing Failures
Learn the latest on the top five causes of failed motor bearings to help stop these problems in their tracks.
According to the bearing experts at SKF (Gothenburg, Sweden, and Lansdale, PA) these five damage mechanisms are the most common causes of motor-bearing failures. Understanding them as you examine a failed bearing can help you prevent their recurrence.
Electrical erosion
Electric erosion (arcing) can occur when a current passes from one ring to the other through the rolling elements of a bearing. While the extent of the damage depends on the amount of energy and its duration, the result is usually the same: pitting damage to the rolling elements and raceways, rapid degradation of the lubricant, and premature bearing failure. To prevent damage from electric-current passage, an electrically insulated bearing at the non-drive end is usually installed.
Inadequate lubrication and contamination
If the lubricant film between a bearing's rolling elements and raceways is too thin due to inadequate viscosity or contamination, metal-to-metal contact occurs. Check first whether the appropriate lubricant is being used and that re-greasing intervals and quantity are sufficient for the application. If the lubricant contains contaminants, check the seals to determine whether they should be replaced or upgraded. In some cases, depending on the application, a lubricant with a higher viscosity may be needed to increase the oil-film thickness.
Damage from vibration
Motors transported without the rotor shaft held securely in place can be subjected to vibrations within the bearing clearance that could damage these components. Similarly, if a motor is at a standstill and subjected to external vibrations over a period of time, its bearings can also be damaged. To prevent these problems, secure the bearings during transport in the following manner: Lock the shaft axially using a flat steel bent in a U-shape, while carefully preloading the ball bearing at the non-drive end. Then radially lock the bearing at the drive end with a strap. In case of prolonged periods of standstill, turn the shaft from time to time.
Damage caused by improper installation and set-up
Common mistakes in installation include using a hammer or similar tool to mount a coupling half or belt pulley onto a shaft; misalignment; imbalance; excessive belt tension; and incorrect mounting resulting in overloading. To prevent these problems, use precision instruments such as shaft-alignment tools and vibration analyzers and other appropriate tools and methods when mounting bearings.
Insufficient bearing load Bearings always need to have a minimum load to function well. If they don't, damage will appear as smearing on the rolling elements and raceways. To prevent these problems, be sure to apply a sufficiently large external load to the bearings. This is crucial with cylindrical roller bearings, since they are typically used to accommodate heavier loads. (This, however, does not apply to preloaded bearings.)

Hardness, Lubrication, Are Keys To Gear Inspection
To realize maximum life from the gears and reducers in your plant, pay attention to their metallurgies and the operating viscosities of their lubricants.
By Neville Sachs, P.E.
In a typical facility, gears are usually the most common method of transmitting power and changing shaft speeds. Vast numbers of equipment systems, from cooling towers to paper machines, will rapidly grind to a halt if their gears aren't kept in good condition. Gear hardness and lubricant viscosity are two factors in the health of these components.
Metal hardness concerns
Understanding gear hardness is an important first maintenance step. This is necessary because of the very different metallurgies commonly used in these components and their varying damage tolerances.
Case-hardened gears (also called surface-hardened gears) have an extremely hard outer layer over a tough, yet softer, core. This case is usually somewhere between 0.015 and 0.125-in. thick, and as hard as bearing steel. Because their cases are so hard, these types of gears have great wear resistance and should run for many years with no visible pitting.
On a case-hardened gear, any pitting you can see is cause for concern. If the load is strong enough to break down a gear's hard case, the lifespan for the underlying metal is guaranteed to be shorter.
Through-hardened gears reflect the same hardness all the way through the tooth. Some are very soft steel; others are about as hard as a Grade 8 bolt. Although through-hardened gears aren't anywhere near as hard as case-hardened types, and their hardness will vary based on application, they are designed to withstand significant wear. (Note: Sixty years ago, almost all North American gears, whether open designs, such as those found on a kiln, or enclosed designs, such as small reducers, were through hardened. Because of economics and market pressures, however, almost all enclosed reducer gears today are case hardened.)
In short, case-hardened gears should not show any wear, i.e., pitting. Through-hardened gears, however, can take a tremendous amount of wear before you need to begin worrying about failure.
How do you know whether a gear is case or through hardened? Perform a hardness test. No expensive equipment is required (although a good hardness tester is a valuable tool in a maintenance department). The procedure is simple.
If you don't have a hardness tester, simply rub a file over the corner of a gear tooth:
- If the file skids across the tooth, the gear is case hardened.
- If the file cuts the tooth, the gear is through hardened.
(Note: You can skip this hardness test for enclosed reducers made in the past 20 years. Almost all of them incorporate case-hardened components.)
Lubricant-viscosity concerns
Prior to shutting gears down, measure the lubricant temperature while the components are running at close-to-the-peak loads—preferably on a hot day. Then, referring to a viscosity chart for that oil, determine if the actual operating viscosity meets the manufacturer's specifications.
This test is crucial for enclosed reducers purchased in the past 20 years. It was during this time that suppliers began downsizing the casings and increasing the power density of these units. The result is that normal heat generated by the gear and seal action has been transmitted out to the environment through ever-smaller surfaces, leading, in turn, to reducers that tend to run hot. The presence of a thin layer of dust—a common occurrence in plants—acts as insulation, which can make the problem even worse.
Improved maintenance procedures
Hardness and lubricant viscosity are two key factors to consider in your inspections of gears and reducers. Tips for improving the maintenance of these components, which can vary somewhat based on specific type, will be discussed in future Maintenance + Reliability Center sections. MT

Synthetics Meet Today's Lubricant Challenges
As machine designs evolve and energy efficiency remains a priority, synthetic lubricants are providing reliability professionals with an improved return on investment.
By Grant Gerke, Contributing Editor
Synthetic lubricants are quietly finding new footing in manufacturing. Maintenance teams and reliability programs are learning more about how polyalphaolefins, glycols, and esters achieve better viscosity at higher temperatures. They can also provide excellent friction coefficients for machines that operate at high temperatures and loads.
"A lot of companies out there don't understand what lubrication is all about," said Ken Bannister, principal asset-management consultant at EngTech Industries, Innerkip, Ontario, and Maintenance Technology contributing editor. "Manufacturers don't treat the lubricant as a component of the machine, such as a pump or a motor. They just treat it as a consumable."
Most original-equipment manufacturers (OEMs) provide general types of oil guidelines for their customers that fall into these categories: resistance and oxidation (R&O), anti-wear (AW), extreme pressure (EP), compounded, and motor oil. While providing general guidelines, OEMs place the onus on manufacturers to specify the right lubricant.
"Synthetic lubricants are ideal for use in newer machine designs with smaller components that operate at higher temperatures and/or greater rotational speeds," stated Les Rudnick, consultant at Designed Materials Group, Scottsdale, AZ. "Synthetic fluids perform very well in more extreme conditions, both at high temperatures and under lower ambient conditions. Longer drain intervals and energy efficiency are also benefits of many synthetic formulated oils."
All base oils for industrial and retail lubricants, including mineral oils from a refinery, are split into five different categories, according to the American Petroleum Institute, Washington. Synthetic oils comprise Groups III through V, with the latter two categories originating from a chemical plant. Mineral-based oils fall into the first three categories. Group IV includes polyalphaolefins (PAO) and Group V is silicones, esters, and glycols.
For worm-gear applications, Hermann Siebert, head of marketing & application engineering at Kluber Lubrication, East Europe, recently conducted synthetic base testing on how lower friction can improve efficiency. Higher-end glycol-based synthetics show "significant friction reduction for worm gears and produce lower energy consumption at constant output power." Additionally, the testing indicated that, "when polyglycol oils are used in heavily loaded worm gears, temperature reductions by more than 40 C and energy savings of 30% are realistic."
For Group IV synthetics, such as PAOs, Siebert noted "that these types could be recommended for old gears in food processing and pharmaceutical machinery where compatibility with paints and seals of unknown origin are a particular priority."
Synthetic-lubricant performance has shown dramatic step-change improvements with viscosity and other performance characteristics, but additives are the other part of the equation. "Synthetic base oil doesn't deplete, but the additives can decompose and rigorous lab analysis needs to be done by machinery OEMs or third parties," said Bannister. He added, "If a manufacturer continually runs equipment at 105% or 110% over its design capacity, machines will fail, usually because of a bearing issue due to a lubricant failure."
Innovation through flexibility
Manteno, IL-based High Performance Lubricants LLC (HPL), is a producer of synthetic oils for industrial and retail customers, with an emphasis on new formula iterations. The company formulates synthetic greases and lubricants from base oils—in API's Groups III through V—and chemically processed additives. The synthetic additives can include corrosion inhibitors, viscosity index improvers, and anti-wear and extreme-pressure additives.
"We were in lubrication distribution before we ever decided to make our own product," said David Ward, principal at HPL. "We wanted flexibility to be responsive to a customer's needs. One big advantage is being able to produce multiple samples of an oil or grease in days, instead of months."
HPL differs from large lubricant producers by providing smaller (1,000 to 3,000 gal.) blends to customers. The company also offers solutions to partners with limited knowledge and bandwidth for lubrication.
HPL's business model includes white-labeling synthetic lubricants in the retail and industrial industries, and developing custom formulations for National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) race teams. The company also formulates synthetics for several NHRA teams and teams at other levels of motor-sport racing.
"We recommend that customers judge our performance via oil analysis and field data," said Ward. For manufacturing, HPL hires third-party oil analysts to perform lubricant tests for customers, providing essential feedback for synthetic formulations.
The three-year old Manteno formulation facility encompasses approximately 45,000 sq. ft. and houses a blending area, warehouse, quality-control lab, and offices. One of the first things you notice upon entering the company's lubricant plant is its cleanliness.
"We're climate controlled, so everything is contained in the building and nothing is susceptible to moisture," said Ward. "Everything that's in the building is clean, pure, and dry." When oil and additives are delivered to the building, the raw materials are immediately tested for cleanliness and how closely they match the manufacturer's sample specifications.
The company invested $600,000 in a state-of-the-art testing laboratory for quality-control procedures and rapid formulations. "We make blends quickly and very accurately," said Ward. "We also blend by weight here, instead of volume." For example, HPL can blend with a 1,000-gal. tank and have an accuracy be within 0.1 lb.
"Our blend controllers are made by Mettler Toledo, and we have the ability to transmit the formula from the lab to our blend tanks," he stated. "The system has the capability of recording every ingredient that goes into a batch and storing it in a database. If a customer calls, we can enter the batch number and, in 30 seconds, we can have a full screen of information about that formulation and product's quality-control data."
High-performing synthetics from HPL have helped a government fleet of 14,000 vehicles realize savings from increasing a 3,000-mile oil change average to approximately 15,000 to 20,000 miles. For this fleet, the company created an engine lubricant from a blend of Group III, IV, and V base oils. The fleet customer now uses a third of the amount of oil it used in the previous three years.
"If you formulate for quality with better base oils and additives, then you can actually save money based on performance," explained Ward.
Slicing the competition
Urschel Laboratories Inc., Chesterton, IN, produces several types of food machinery. The 105-yr.-old company is known for its slicing, dicing, and grinding food machines. "All of our machines have rotating gears, knives, or blades," said Mike Jacko, vice president of engineering. "These simple-to-use machines are easy to take apart, change cut sizes, reassemble, and keep sanitary."
Urschel values continuous improvement and research and design for its machines as the food industry rapidly changes. Early in the company's history, most of its machines used an open-sleeve bearing design, with shafts leading through to spindles that had knives attached to them.
About 20 years ago, Urschel's designers adopted an internal spindle design based on an enclosure that eliminated sanitary issues. This design isolated internal moving parts from food. In doing so, the design required new thinking on spindle lubricants.
"One of my projects included an all-purpose dicer that could slice and dice anything from 0.28 to 0.70 in.," said Jacko. "The spindle had articulated knives with little cams and would rotate at 12,000 rpm, and you had to pump grease basically every hour to keep that spindle live."
Stopping a machine on a food-plant floor every hour to grease a spindle isn't an option for its customers. So, Urschel's engineering team began testing different food-grade greases, from higher-end synthetics to non-PAO greases that contained clay. After two months of exhaustive spindle testing that included simulated food-plant conditions, including water-contact applications, the company chose the first synthetic lubricant in its history.
"During testing, the machine's spindle ran for 30 to 40 hours with the synthetic grease and did it under the worst conditions—water and heat," stated Jacko. "Going forward, Urschel instructed clients that re-greasing could take place every eight hours with the new synthetic product."
Urschel has been sourcing Group IV synthetic grease lubricants from HPL and, in the process, now offers food producers private-label lubricants with considerable benchmarked, performance data behind them. "There's a big confidence level when people talk about Urschel and our lubricants," said Jacko.
His company's equipment needs are just one example of the demands that today's manufacturing machinery places on lubricants. The ability to protect bearings and gears at ever-increasing speeds, often in harsh (heat, corrosion, moisture) conditions, and the desire to extend maintenance cycles have been—and will continue to be—the major hurdles lubricants must clear. In most applications, industries have reached a point where conventional mineral lubricants can no longer measure up. Synthetic lubricants are rapidly filling the void and, in many cases, meeting and exceeding performance requirements. MT

Racing and Testing
When you see hot rods and motorcycles racing past spectators in a matter of seconds, durability isn't the first thing that comes to mind. However, the legendary National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Vance and Hines race team turned to High Performance Lubricants (HPL), Manteno, IL, in a quest to reduce its pro stock Suzuki elapsed times.
"When we started with Vance and Hines, we improved upon their previous oil for their diamond-like coatings for their cam followers but didn't improve it to the level they wanted to see," said HPL's David Ward. "That's racing; multiple iterations until you get it right. We had to develop four formulations to reach what the team was looking for."
Small changes to fully synthetic oils for the various engine components can result in small increases in horsepower, which can be the difference between winning and losing. Ward noted that some specialized, traditional racing oils have inherent limitations when it comes to higher heat, such as 120 to 130 F. Racing power and vacuum can fall dramatically if vehicles exceed that temperature range.
"Based on our success with the race engines, Vance and Hines is about to release a synthetic engine oil for street vehicles that will be available in retail stores," added Ward.
Racing is a valuable development tool for HPL: "It's a catalyst for the company, said Ward, "we see results very quickly in racing and it allows us to implement lessons learned in racing to our industrial product line as a whole."

Consider Lubricant Temperature
Temperature is critical to the performance and life expectancy of lubricants and the components they protect.
By Ken Bannister, MEch Eng (UK), CMRP, MLE, Contributing Editor
In the lubrication world, temperature presents an interesting paradox and irony.
The paradox is that lubricants require heat to flow efficiently over and around surfaces, most commonly bearings. However, if the temperature gets too hot (exceeds 210 F), lubricants tend to undergo chemical changes that can drastically reduce life expectancy. Conversely, if the temperature becomes too cold, a lubricant will thicken and lose its ability to lubricate bearing surfaces. The irony is that lubricating oil is designed not merely to separate and lubricate a bearing surface, it's also designed to absorb and carry away frictional heat from the bearing surface.
While the old adage "oil is oil and grease is grease" may have been true in agrarian societies of yesteryear, things have changed. To guarantee asset availability and reliability in today's complex, high-speed industrial environments, lubricants must be tailored and managed to their machine-host's specific needs and operating conditions.
The fundamental reason for lubrication is to provide a film that reduces friction between two, often metal, surfaces. If the film is insufficient, the surfaces collide and transfer energy, resulting in rapid heat buildup and metal expansion, which further retards motion until both surfaces eventually weld to one another. To avoid this worst-case scenario, the ideal intent is to guarantee the correct lubricant is available in sufficient quantity to consistently separate the moving surfaces. This ensures that temperatures stay below the magic 210 F operating temperature.
Lubricant choice
Choosing the correct lubricant for a bearing means selecting one that best matches the ambient and operating temperatures and conditions under which the component will function. This also means choosing a lubricant with the correct viscosity and additive package.
Viscosity—arguably a lubricant's most important attribute—is a measure of its resistance to flow. A highly viscous oil is thick and resists flow. A low-viscosity oil is thin and flows easily. Again, temperature can have a dramatic impact on lubricant viscosity. A high-temperature condition, depending on the load in the bearing area, could easily collapse the film thickness of a low-viscosity product and create a metal-to-metal contact or "boundary layer" condition detrimental to the bearing and the lubricant.
Avoiding this situation means choosing a lubricant viscosity designed for the maximum operating temperature expected in the bearing area. This is achieved by paying particular attention to a lubricant's viscosity index (VI). The VI measures the rate of viscosity change due to temperature. Better-quality lubricants have a more-desirable, narrow rate of viscosity change over a standard temperature range and allow good flow at low temperatures while maintaining their thickness at higher temperatures. Generally speaking, the higher the VI, the more stable and desirable the lubricant.
In cold-temperature conditions, hydrocarbon-based oil can thicken to the point at which it will no longer pour, largely due to its wax content. More expensive hydro-treated and synthetic-based oils will largely resolve this problem, or the user can heat the oil reservoir to a temperature that will allow it to flow again.
Heat-related lubricant failure
In the late 19th century, the Swedish Nobel Laureate Svante Arrhenius discovered a direct relationship between temperature change and the chemical-reaction rate in fluids that he put into an equation known as the Arrhenius rule. As summed up in the following statement, this rule is used in the lubrication field to express the temperature-change-dependent failure rate of oils: "For every 18-deg. F (10-deg. C) increase in oil temperature, the lubricant's life is reduced by half." Conversely, reducing oil temperature by the same rate doubles the lubricant's life (see Fig. 1).
Two predominant failure mechanisms occur as oil heats up. The most common is categorized as oxidation failure and the lesser categorized as thermal failure.
Oxidation failure occurs when oxygen reacts with the lubricant base oil. Anti-foaming and anti-oxidant additives, if present in the oil, are designed to slow the process. Once they are depleted, however, the rate of oxidation will accelerate, especially in the presence of water and reactive bearing materials such as copper and iron.
In an oxidized state, hydrocarbon molecules in the oil will transform into a greasy sludge containing harmful, corrosive acids. These will cause the oil to degrade and lose its lubricating properties, effects that are manifested by an increase in lubricant viscosity, specific gravity, acidity (TAN), rapid additive depletion, darkening of the oil, a "rotten egg" odor, and varnishing of the bearing surfaces.
Thermal failure can occur when localized/external heat is transferred to the lubricant or through the adiabatic compression (a thermodynamic process that occurs when entrained air compresses and heats up according to Boyle's law) of entrained air bubbles in pumps, bearings, and pressurized hydraulic and lubricating systems. The resulting heat causes the lubricant to decompose and its corresponding hydrogen loss to create carbon-rich particles in the form of sludge and carbon deposits. This leads to a decrease in lubricant viscosity indicated by dark fluid with greasy suspensions that smell of burned food, and evidence of coking and varnishing on the bearing surfaces.
Once a lubricant has failed, the molecular-change state is usually irreversible. At the very least, this situation calls for a lubricant change.
Oil-analysis programs monitor lubricant conditions and alert users to possible failures before they occur. The propensity of a lubricant to fail can be checked by subjecting a sample of it to a rotary pressure vessel oxidation test (RPVOT). By simulating failure through a speeded-up oxidation process, this test can provide a good indication of a lubricant's suitability. It also can predict remaining life in virgin and used oil samples.
Prevent temperature-related failures
Whether your lubricant choice is grease or oil, once the correct product is chosen and employed it will require assistance from the maintainer to ensure that it has a fighting chance to perform and deliver a reasonable life expectancy. This can be achieved by implementing some of the following best practices:
- Keep lubricant transfer-delivery systems immaculately clean. This prevents the ingress of solid contamination that can create sludge, raise lubricant viscosity, and accelerate the oxidation process.
- Ensure the oil/grease delivery method/system is tuned to provide the correct amount of lubrication in a timely manner. Over-lubrication will create fluid-friction heat, compounded by the bearing ball/rollers working overtime to mechanically push through the excess lubricant. Both conditions cause the lubricant to heat up rapidly. Under-lubrication can allow the bearing to go into boundary lubrication, creating surface interaction frictional heat that can "cook" the lubricant.
- Maintain the oil reservoir level between the minimum ("MIN") and maximum ("MAX") fluid level to prevent cavitation in the oil pump or oil churn in the reservoir. Either can result in air bubbles accelerating the oxidation process.
- Keep oil reservoirs clean and free of debris. Dirt, dust, and debris can create the effect of a thermal blanket and raise the temperature of the oil inside the reservoir.
- Ensure the integrity of shaft seals. Poor shaft seals lead to excessive lubricant leakage that can quickly result in an under-lubrication state.
- Implement a lubricant test-and-control process to ensure that incompatible lubricants are not mixed together in the same bearing space, something that can lead to a variety of detrimental conditions, including overheating.
- Where hydrocarbon-base lubricants are employed in cold-weather climates, use timed block heaters or blanket-wrap element heaters for reservoir and drum/pail heating. If a lubricant is to protect a bearing surface it must readily flow across the bearing. MT

CARL ROBSON was diagnosed with terminal cancer in December 2012. Given 6 months to live, his last wish was to share a track weekend with best friend Daryl.
With a weekend booked at Cartagena in Spain, it looked as though Carl's wish might come true - until Daryl's motorbike was stolen. Despite being recovered, it was nowhere near track-ready. With no bikes avaliable for hire at that notice, the project looked in jeopardy.
Step in Jamie, Justin and Stuart from repairers Fast Lane Motorcycles in Tonbridge, Kent (who also make up Phased Out Racing, 2012 winners of the 'No Budget' cup), who when they realised the bike would not be ready in time, gave total strangers Carl and Daryl the use of their racing-ready, championship-winning Yamaha R1, free of charge, spares and repairs provided so that Carl could complete his final wish.
Carl says: 'I would like to point out that these guys don't know myself or Daryl from Adam! Yet, they have lent us their race prepared, race ready championship bike – their pride and joy R1. They have fully serviced it and supplied it with new tyres; spare tyres on rims; wets on rims; sundries and spares – just in case anything happened or it got dropped in Spain. In which case, we could repair and carry on. Its unbelievable, I know – it still doesn't seem real.'
We thought a story of such heart-warming generosity deserved exposure, Carl's story here.
Last week Carl and Daryl successfully completed their track weekend. Hope it was a good one chaps!

Arion Academy is an academy for aspiring young adventurers. It was set up by Prince Regent Daern and Queen Telessa in 198AC.
Daern was farsighted, and perceived that in the decades to come a new Time of Heroes approached. He believed that Arion would be targeted by the evils on the horizon and was determined that Arion should be ready to meet these challenges. The academy was instituted to teach those that showed promise. This education would include many disciplines, not just combat prowess. History, languages (both modern and ancient (such as Kabeshian), wilderness lore, woodcraft and many other skills necessary to survive in Khul's harsh environment were taught. King Jonthane and Queen Elegana both attended the academy, as did the hero who would later be known as the Lonely Mariner.

With almost every day bringing a new recording about ex-Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili and friends' alleged plans to thwart any takeover of government-bashing broadcaster Rustavi2, online parodies of the conversations have become the thing in Georgia, even as public concerns about violations of privacy are growing.
Borrowing the graphics used in the original online leaks, the send-ups replace the ex-president and his allies with various entertaining exchanges between real and fictional characters.
"Keto, I am going to come over tomorrow at dusk. Let's try, perhaps it can work out between us," a man called Khirkhal tells his small-town paramour in a clip ripped from the 1980 Georgian musical comedy, "Everyone Wants Love." "Come, come through the breach in the fence, but don't let anyone see you," Keto whispers passionately.
While the online satires and opinion polls indicate public fatigue with Georgia's main political forces and their ways, the original leaks paint a far less entertaining picture. "Blood will be spilt there… a hundred percent," Saakashvili supposedly predicted in reference to the standoff around Rustavi2, a channel long sympathetic to the former president's political base in Georgia, the United National Movement Party.
Saakashvili, now governor of Ukraine's Odessa region, added that he is as certain of such a turn of events as the fact that he is not coriander. This herbal metaphor makes only slightly more sense in colloquial Georgian, in which it can also carry crude connotations depending on usage.
But, in any case, the turn of phrase does not appear to be helping either Misha, as he is known, or the current Georgian leader, Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvili, cut a particularly dignified figure.
A judicial ruling in Georgia seems certain to turn up the heat on a long-simmering political confrontation.
In a controversial ruling,Tbilisi City Court Judge Tamaz Urtmelidze ruled on November 3 to restore the ownership rights of former co-owner Kibar Khalvashi to Rustavi2, Georgia's main broadcasting outlet.
Rustavi2's counsel, Zaza Bibilashvili, told the TV station he plans to appeal the decision.
The lawsuit has been at the center of a months-long struggle that has accerbated a bitter political crisis between the ruling Georgian Dream and former President Mikheil Saakashvili's United National Movement, which claims that the lawsuit serves as a government-takeover. Khalvashi maintains that he only wantes to restore the rights he supposedly illegally lost during Saakashvili's first, 2004-2008 term in office.
Developing story . . . .
Azerbaijan's November 1 vote was no cliffhanger, with President Ilham Aliyev's Yeni (New) Azerbaijan Party, or YAP, winning as it has all parliamentary elections since 1996. What was different this year is that the region's standard election-observation group, from the OSCE/ODIHR, was not there to assess the quality of the vote in an environment some Western human-rights watchdogs argue has gone from bad to worse.
The absence of these observers appeared to clear the stage for a variety of positive assessments — something entirely natural, in the government's view.
The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe/Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE/ODIHR) refused to send its observation mission after Azerbaijani authorities restricted the number of observers that could be sent. The observers have never deemed an Azerbaijani vote up to international standards.
But senior presidential advisor Ali Hasanov, for one, did not miss them.
The requested size of the OSCE/ODIHR mission "is a result of their biased attitude" toward Azerbaijan, local outlets reported him as saying. He also cited supposed "financial problems" caused by their presence, and questions "about their accommodation" -- this last despite Azerbaijan's hosting of the 2015 European Games.
Georgia's political crisis moved into high gear on October 30 after ex-Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili was caught advising the embattled Georgian television station, Rustavi2, to barricade itself against the government's alleged seizure plans and adopt a "revolutionary scenario." Based on the wiretapped conversation, posted online, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvili accused Saakashvili of fomenting an upheaval and vowed to "neutralize everything and everyone" threatening the country's constitutional order.
The State Security Service early this afternoon began questioning Saakashvili's two interlocutors, Rustavi2 General Director Nika Gvaramia and former National Security Council head Giga Bokeria, a senior member of Saakashvili's United National Movement (UNM). Neither of the two men is being held. The Service already is investigating another supposed conversation between Saakashvili and Bokeria.
Driving the drama is the shortly expected verdict in a lawsuit for ownership of the Saakashvili-sympathetic television station Rustavi2, the country's most frequently viewed national broadcaster. Station staff and supporters claim the suit fronts as a takeover attempt by the government, and that they will not recognize a court-decision that changes Rustavi2's ownership.
With tensions escalating, the hearing on Friday was postponed until November 2.
Georgian television is now awash with the taped conversations, the authenticity of which both Gvaramia and Bokeria have confirmed. Dates mentioned in the conversation indicate it occurred some 10 days ago.
A couple of election cycles ago, former president Mikheil Saakashvili's administration engendered widespread public anger over what were deemed anti-democratic actions to muzzle critics and preserve its authority.
With its November 1 parliament vote just days away, Azerbaijan today continued a string of detentions of senior government officials from the national security ministry and communications ministry that has left observers struggling to explain.
On October 29, Vidadi Zeynolav, the chief of staff of the communications ministry, a high-profile body handling such nationally sensitive projects as Azerbaijan's first satellite launch, was detained for unclear reasons.
Azerbaijani news, however, reported that Zeynolav is "connected" to 59-year-old former National Security Minister Eldar Mahmudov, who was sacked earlier this month after 11 years in office.
To date, 22 arrests of officials related to government-run security or communications bodies have been reported.The first seven cases occurred after Mahmudov's dismissal on October 17. An additional 15 followed on October 28.
Prosecutors say that the individuals were abusing their official powers or damaging "the rights and legitimate interests" of individuals or organizations, yet details of the cases remain under wraps. The hit list includes the deputy directors of Azerbaijan's counter-terrorism center and transnational organized crime center.
Georgian officials on October 26 launched an investigation into an obscure website's claims of a supposed coup attempt by former President Mikhail Saakashvili and former National Security Council Secretary Giga Bokeria. The investigation comes amidst stepped-up surveillance of a leading opposition TV channel sympathetic to the former president.
Georgia's political fights generally escalate overnight, with plot accusations, allegedly leaked conversations and gruesome, incriminating videos everywhere. The country is now having one of those moments — the government speaks of a coup conspiracy and the opposition of a deliberate campaign to be pushed out of the political arena ahead of a national election. Some see the developments an early start of Georgian-style campaigning for next year's parliamentary vote.
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvili and his ruling Georgian Dream coalition were quick to dismiss as alarmist President Giorgi Margvelashvili's warnings last week about a possible civilian conflict. But the subsequent initiation of an investigation into "a government-overthrow" hardly helped support claims that's all is calm in the South Caucasus nation. Particularly during a regional security conference, attended by NATO's representative to the region, James Apathurai, as well as other senior dignitatries.
With US talk show host Conan O'Brien in town after an earlier visit by Kim Kardashian, it seems that swinging by Armenia to shoot episodes for US-based TV shows may be becoming a bit of a thing for American celebrities. But whether or not the country can boost their ratings is open to debate.
Regardless, Armenian comedians Narek Margaryan and Sergey Sargsyan were thrilled to have O'Brien on their ArmComedy show on October 14. The pair said the experience would be just perfect if only their celebrity guest agreed to let them make him an Armenian.
"The national sport of Armenia is starting rumor [sic] that this or that celebrity is Armenian," explained Margaryan, before asking O'Brien to sign a release form that would allow the comedians to claim that he is, in fact, an ethnic Armenian with the last name of O'Briyan.
Despite his new Armenian credentials, O'Brien, unlike the Kardashians, did not get to meet the country's prime minister, Hovik Abrahamian. But he did get a crash course in the Armenian experience for his November 17 broadcast. He put meat on skewers for grilling, played backgammon, and vowed to export to the US the Armenian (and the rest of the Caucasus') custom of men walking together, arm-in-arm.
O'Brien said he went to Armenia at the suggestion of his American-Armenian assistant Sona Movsesian, who accompanied him. "It was either that or give her a raise," he tweeted.
An obscure Swedish organization has nominated Azerbaijan's First Lady Mehriban Aliyeva for a peace award.
The nomination comes from a Göteborg, Sweden-based group that is not quick to respond to questions. What is known about the group – a certain Swedish Peace Agency (SPA) – is that it is a self-described international organization launched in 2010 to further world peace. The president is 40-year-old Rezha Aghapoor, who was born in "Iranian Azerbaijan," Iran's northern province dominated by ethnic Azeris.
SPA did not respond to questions about its sponsorship sources. The organization does not appear to be listed in Sweden's roster of charities and does not have a working website in Swedish.
Its reasons for nominating Mehriban Aliyeva for the organization's peace prize are not clear. "Individuals or governmental institutions active in defence of human rights can be nominated for the Prize," according to the agency's nomination submission rules.
Also in the running is American writer and rights-activist Alice Walker.
Aliyeva, who serves as a UNESCO goodwill ambassador for oral and musical traditions and as head of the charitable Heydar Aliyev Foundation, has promoted children's healthcare and cultural issues at home and abroad, and has received awards before, including from her husband.
She sits in parliament and faces a reelection vote on November 1.

Yep. Its all hindsight. There was nothing wrong with RC bringing some characters to GH. I think it was brilliant. Yes, there were some hits and misses and I'll never know the point of bringing Tea on to kill her baby. I do think RC and FV planned to bring Trevor St. John to General Hospital, as well...until the Prospect Park revivals became a reality. The stories got jerked around and now it looks like a dumb decision. I don't blame anyone for this because I will never accept that it was a bad move. I was really excited when I heard that OLTL characters would be appearing on GH. It seemed like OLTL was dead for good and there was never any chance of a revival.
I think they'll have Tea's baby still dead and say that Todd was involved in the situation. It says Tea explains what really happened with her baby so they can easily explain it without saying Sam and Heather's names. Its not like Heather and Sam are known to the people in Llanview anyway. She can easily just say, "Some woman" and "Some crazy ass lady." Poor Tea. I REALLY hope that is Victor coming back because she needs some happiness. And I love Florencia Lozano. I hope she is a major focus of the show.

May 26, 1952
Appeal, No. 107, Jan. T., 1952, from order of Court of Common Pleas of Northampton County, Nov. T., 1950, No. 3, in re Property of Bangor Park Association. Order affirmed in part and vacated in part.
Edmund P. Turtzo, for appellants.
Alfred M. Nittle, Sullivan Cistone and James F. Pritchard, with them, J. Lawrence Davis, for appellees.

[ 370 Pa. Page 444]
This appeal is by disappointed prospective purchasers of real estate, whose contract, unfortunately for them, was made with persons possessing no title. The facts are recited at length in our opinion in Abel et al. v. Girard Trust Company et al., 365 Pa. 34, 73 A.2d 682. The action was in equity in the nature of quia timet. Trustees of a closed bank secured a title to real estate by sheriff's deed following an attachment execution upon a judgment obtained in a suit against a corporation upon two of its promissory notes. After securing such title the trustees agreed to sell the real estate in fee simple to the present appellants. The title examination disclosed a question whether the trustees could convey a valid title in fee simple, the solution of which depended upon the effect of the words constituting the habendum clause in the deed to the judgment debtor. The trustees filed their complaint, in quia timet, as above stated. All interested parties were joined. The trustees alleged that the Bangor Park Association, the judgment debtor, had acquired title in fee, with power to convey free of trust restrictions, and hence under the sheriff's deed title passed to the trustees in fee simple, which they were able to transfer to the present appellants. The grantors of such judgment debtor, the Brown Estate, on the contrary, contended that their conveyance created a base fee and because of non-user in accordance with the terms of the grant, a reversion to the grantors resulted. This Court decided that the fee was not base but was absolute and there was no reverter. We also held (which
[ 370 Pa. Page 445]
was a necessary consideration in a quia timet proceeding) that such transfer was made to the Bangor Park Association under a valid charitable trust. Since this decision we have re-affirmed both principles. See Hoffman v. Pittsburgh et al., 365 Pa. 386, 75 A.2d 649, as to reverter and Loechel v. Columbia Borough School District, 369 Pa. 132, 85 A.2d 81, as to creation of charitable trusts.We decided that it was immaterial that the trustee was no longer functioning or that the land had ceased to be used for the charitable purpose named in the deed, viz.: "For the exclusive use by the grantee hereof, its successors and assigns, of said premises, as and for a public park, for the use and benefit of the inhabitants of the Borough of Bangor aforesaid, and to and for no other use or purpose whatsoever."
We said, p. 40 et seq.: "The familiar rule is that a charitable trust will not fall for want of a trustee: Thompson's Estate, 282 Pa. 30, 35, 127 A. 446; Jordan's Estate, 329 Pa. 427, 197 A. 150; Restatement of Trusts, section 353(3); 3 Scott on Trusts, sections 397, 397.3, page 2066 et seq.
"While no claim has been presented on behalf of the inhabitants of the Borough of Bangor, the attention of the proper officials of that borough, and of the Attorney General, must be drawn to their duty to enforce a public charitable trust: Williams Estate, 353 Pa. 638, 46 A.2d 237; Restatement, Trusts, section 391; Estates Act of 1947, April 24, P.L. 100, section 10, 20 PS 301.10. It is presently unnecessary to consider whether the original purpose of the trust can be carried out, in which case a new trustee would be appointed, or whether resort must be had to the application of the doctrine of cy pres, in which event the property would be sold and the proceeds awarded: Mears's Estate, 299 Pa. 217, 149 A. 157; Hoff's Estate, 315 Pa. 286, 172 A. 645."
[ 370 Pa. Page 446]
The present record discloses the disregard of our decision. As the trustees of the closed bank possess no title to the real estate, they are not parties in interest. They do not have the status to petition for the appointment of a substituted trustee, and for the sale of the premises. Obviously, therefore, the court could not approve the proposed sale upon petition of parties without interest, even though real estate experts may have testified at the hearing that the $5,000 consideration agreed upon was a full and fair price. But in addition an answer was filed by one Capozzolo offering $6,000, a thousand dollars more than has been offered by appellants. Another answer was filed by the Burgess of Bangor Borough, objecting to the sale at $5,000 and requesting the court to appoint a substituted trustee, which has not yet been done. Three individuals, Horn, Wagner and Remagon answered that the petitioners had resigned as trustees for the closed bank, and that they had been appointed in their place, and "acquiesce in said proceedings and join in the prayer of said Petition." Lastly, appellants answered, in a formal answer filed by Mr. Turtzo, their counsel, with language which we regard as an impertinent and scandalous affront to this Court.
What the trustees for the bank and counsel for the appellants appear to have overlooked is that the attachment execution against the Bangor Park Association did not, and could not, bind real estate held by the debtor corporation, as trustee for the charitable trust. They fail to comprehend that because of the non-user of the real estate for the purpose indicated in the deed the sheriff's sale and deed did not terminate the trust and end the charitable use for which the property was dedicated. All that the sheriff's deed transferred to the creditors was the association's interest and title in the real estate (i.e. not that as trustee), which, as above indicated, was nothing. See: Wells v. VanDyke, 106 Pa. 111;
[ 370 Pa. Page 447]
trust estate was benefited and still obligated at the time of the Sheriff's sale, together with other benefits bestowed on the premises since the Sheriff's sale for which reimbursement should legally be made, and pay the appeal costs aforesaid; we will make a proper order appointing it the new trustee and directing a proper conveyance of the premises to it as such trustee under such circumstances."
There is not disclosed in this record any basis for the application of the equitable doctrine of restitution or unjust enrichment. The usual case of unjust enrichment involves a suit to "reach the trust estate by a proceeding against the trustee in his representative capacity and... recover the amount by which the estate was enriched, although the trustee exceeded his authority in incurring the liability.": 2 Scott on Trusts, sec. 269.1, p. 1516. Here there was no suit against the association in its representative capacity as trustee for the inhabitants of the Borough of Bangor, nor does it appear from the record that the purchase money was originally borrowed n such capacity. Even though the corporate association may have borrowed money from the bank upon its notes and used part or all of the borrowed money in the purchase of real estate which it then caused to be dedicated for charitable uses, this fact alone did not give the bank, or its trustees, an equitable lien on the real estate or require restitution because of unjust enrichment. In the absence of additional facts or equities no such interest can be declared. But in any event, any such claim would not affect the title as above indicated but would constitute an equitable lien or claim against the fund, which is not yet before the Court. No election by the borough is, therefore, necessary or required. As a charitable trust has been declared by this Court to exist, title is already in the present or substituted trustee and no transfer of title is requisite.
[ 370 Pa. Page 449]
The order denying confirmation of appellants' contract of sale is affirmed. The remaining portion of the court's order is vacated. Costs to be paid by appellants.
