Abstract :
MR. GROOCOCK (replying to the Section President, Mr. Hallam): In the opening by your President, he mentioned three points which need some comment from me. In the first place he emphasised the point that no matter what we were doing our one aim as production engineers should be to attempt to produce more and better goods from the factory we were connected with. It might well be that such a factory was not at all up-to-date ; it might have poor equipment; but if the production engineer has got the right ideas, then he can always be doing something which will improve the quality and the quantity of the output.
