PACKING FOR EXPORT: Some Comments from Industry

Last November we published an article entitled ‘Corrosion in Singapore,’ by Major P. A. Cartwright, a Senior Scientific Officer of the Operational Research Unit at GHQ., FARELF. Problems of packaging and storage in the tropics, as viewed from the receiving end, were discussed. One reader of this article was Mr. Toby James, of the Rootes Group, Coventry, and he has sent us the following observations based on trials, mainly concerned with the packing of motor‐car parts in this country, and from reports on the condition of shipments on arrival at their destinations.
