Too Many Industrialised Systems in London
So many firms had climbed on the industrialised building band wagon in the London area that the advantages of the new methods were being lost, said Mr. Robert Mellish, Britains Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Hous- ing and Local Government, last month.
Some 50 different industrialised systems were avail- able in Greater London and he thought that they should be reduced to a smaller number of those which had proved cheapest and best.
"The full benefits of industrialised building will be reaped," he said, "when we have in each region a small number of those systems which have proved themselves to be cheapest and most satisfactory, competing fiercely among themselves, but each reasonably assured of a sizable market which can yield economies of scale."

SHELL EPIKOTE RESINS AND THE PLANEMAKERS
The Aviation industry has recently developed new uses for Shell Epikote Resins. Now air-craft, including latest super- sonic fighter types, are literally being "glued" together with this versatile super adhesive. Important metal structures, even the skin panels, can now be assembled without riveting. The advantages? Considerable savings in weight, greater overall strength and much smoother finish.
This is but one of the almost limitless range of applications for versatile Shell Epikote Resins. With their excellent adhe. sion and bonding power, electrical properties, chemical and oil resistance and dimensional stability, Epikote Resins are being used by Civil Engineers for flooring, road surfacing, concrete structure repairing, concrete adhesives and under- water applications. In Mechanical Engineering, for tooling, mould making and fixture checking. In the Electrical and Electronics Industry for laminating, potting, encapsulation and cable jointing. As surface coatings in stoving enamel, 2. can chemical resistant paint, marine paint, wire enamel, powder coating, electrodeposition paint.
No matter what your field, there's almost certainly a way Epikote Resins can help you.
