LUBRICATION PROBLEMS OVERSEAS

In those countries where backward natives form a large proportion of the labour force, the lubrication problems encountered are somewhat different from those of more civilised areas. The writer speaks from experience in India, and South‐West Africa, and the chief difficulty is the child‐like lack of responsibility met with in the native workers. There are of course, some exceptions to this rule, and the Chinese fitters met with in Calcutta, for example, were very good at their job.
