Shell's Marine Oils Research Laboratory

NEW LABORATORIES for additive testing, for general lubricants testing, and even for motor oils testing, are increasing in number all over the world, but the new laboratory opened on April 9th at the Royal Dutch/Shell Laboratory in Amsterdam will be concerned only with research and development work on lubricants for large, low‐speed marine diesel engines. It will be marine engines and their oils with which they will be concerned, but we have little doubt that a lot of work done here will provide valuable information also for other large diesel engine installation in various industrial fields.
