Abstract: A drive shaft of a fan coupling assembly includes a shaft member fixedly connected with a fan drive rotor, and a flange member fixedly connected with a fan pulley. The two members are separately formed into their predetermined configurations. The shaft member has a securing portion and a flange coaxially formed at one end thereof, while the flange member has a central bore including a plurality of radially outwardly recessed portions. After the flange member is fitted on the shaft member through the central bore thereof, the two members are fixedly secured to each other by a securing member, whereby an integral flanged shaft may be obtained.

Abstract: Polyester film for magnetic tape including discrete polyester particles containing lithium, calcium and phosphorus, said particles having an average size in the range from 0.1 to 3.0 .mu.m and inert pigments having an average size of 1.0 to 10.0 .mu.m.Magnetic tape from this film has improved abrasion resistance and reduced the occurrence of "drop out".

Abstract: A process is provided for manufacturing heat resistant polymeric film. A concentrated polymer composition containing solvent is provided, which composition is a solid at room temperature. The composition comprises (a) a polymer having in the repeating units thereof a member selected from the group consisting of precursor units which on heat curing form heterocyclic rings, and a mixture of said precursor units and heterocyclic rings formed from said precursor units and (b) 25-130% by weight of an organic solvent for said polymer, the composition being a solid at room temperature.According to the process, the solid composition is heated to a temperature above room temperature and is extruded into film at this high temperature to form film at a temperature above room temperature and below the curing temperature of the polymer.
