PORTABLE ELECTRIC IGNITOR PRODUCED
To improve the operating efficiency of modern pulverised fuel-fired boilers, auxiliary oil firing may be applied in a number of ways -- to give rapid and positive ignition, to raise boiler pressure without risk of overheating the super- heated elements, and to stabilise com- bustion against risk of flame failure and explosions, due to temporary bad coal conditions.

Pressure Butt Welding
Process
A NEW pressure butt welding process is being made available to industry.
Initially, developed to over- come production "bottle-necks" In quality pipe welding, it employs the novel principle of allowing the plasticity of steel being welded to control its own welding cycle.
Known as the Burton proċess, it is covered by patent held by Britain's Natioupl Research Development Corporation, and all inquiries regarding licences rhould be addressed to Exploita- tion Offleet of the Corporation at 1, Tilney Street, London, W 1.
