This has been borne out by the experience in one foundry where two conventional cupola s were replaced with a threeton mainsfrequency induction tilting the cupolas had been used to produce only Whiteheart iron .

While it is true that improvements in productivity could follow naturally from reduced scrap and wastage due to right first time manufacture,a pany39。 s service to industryThe progressive prosperity of an industrialized country can be measured by its expanding use of energy and, in particular, electricity. For the year 19651966, 65,000,000,000 units of electricity were supplied to British industry. This figure, while still not paring on an energy per worker basis as favorably as some other highly industrialized countries wit h which we pete for trade, does show the significant contribution made by electricity to industrial output. The Industrial Advisory Service offered by the electricity supply industry is designed to help all industrial consumers to utilize this power in the most efficient way and to advise them on any matters affecting their present and future use of electricity. The Advisory Service, which is constantly being extended , is available in many forms to suit the varying types of demand made upon it.PublicationsInformation concerning the application o f electrical energy is contained in a wide range of publications which are available through the Electricity Boards. Most of these are issued by The Electricity Council and are designed to provide the busy executive with the information he wants in an easily readable and understandable form. These are invaluable aids to people wishing to obtain factual information on a specific subject. Items of general interest are contained in a quarterly newssheet , Electrified Production ,freely distributed by Electricity Boards to industrialists on request.personal contactIn addition, advice and information on specific problems in the heating , lighting , motive power and many other fields of industrial stabilization of electric power are readily and freely available from Area Electricity Board engineers. These engineers are backed by first a regional , then a national advisory and development organization employing experts in the many fields of electrical utilization and supported by an information center.Many of the problem s put to the engineers are concerned with improving the quality of product as well as the production efficiency resulting from existing processing methods . Bu t eve n where quality is no t the prime objective, an improvement of product quality is often found to be a wele byproduct of a new electrical process, even where this has been introduced originally for other reasons .development workPractical development work may be undertaken by Electricity Boards in response to problems put to them by industry . This i s often the extension of a known technique to suit a special production problem but it can also involve the development of a new process equipment where this is not mercially available. The problems tackled may be large or small . For example , in response to a request for help a small hand tool was developed for cutting consisted of a handgrip to which could be fitted a variety of different shapes and sizes of hairpin elements manufacture d from piano wire and fed from a low voltage transformer. Shapes could therefore be sculpted from the solid block of material . Engineers in one board area have developed a resistance heating element sheath suitable for use as an immersion heater in pH2 liquids. Towards the other end of the scale is the development of a type of low thermal mass furnace for stress relieving large fabricated boiler shells . The reliability of these high pressure boiler shells in service demands a precisely specified heating and cooling cycle for stress developed furnace provides a high quality heating process and one boiler firm alone has reported a saving of 163。 including the Social Services.The Production EngineerFrom: Francis B. Willmott , Member,Francis B. Willmott , Ltd.INDUSTRIA L BOREDOMIt is beginning to be realized that boredom and frustration can be the root cane of industrial unrest especially in the car factories where the operator is a robot , and that this malaise can be deemed a responsive contribution to strike action and not in many instances due to a claim for higher wage sot better conditions. It is the fault of the automation age in which speed and the machine are the masters . It can be described as mental reaction and not fatigue in the normal sense of the term. Repetitive processes are to blame and in consequence it is not entirely confined to the car assembly line, but if anything to any and every factory or office for that matter. It is perhaps a question of studying morale, bearing in mind that many enjoy working in a factory and are seen to benefit from it in physical and mental health by reas n of the exercise involved in which essential muscles are brought int o action .
