Abstract
ON September 7 the Earl of Athlone opened the Shipping, Engineering and Machinery Exhibition at Olympia, London. Speaking optimistically of the trade outlook, he pointed to shipbuilding as an indication of the trend towards trade improvement. The Exhibition, in bringing together engineers from all parts of the world, will provide an impetus towards recovery. The improvement in the shipbuilding industry on the Clyde and the Tyne has been accompanied by a great increase in the tonnage of motor-vessels and a feature of importance is the development of high-speed cargo vessels. At a luncheon later on, Lord Stonehaven said the exhibition is a tribute to the technical skill, ingenuity, courage and perseverance of those engaged in industry, while Prof. H. S. Hele-Shaw directed attention to the research exhibits and the display of nautical instruments.
