LOCALLY MADE ENGINES Of particular interest to Hong Kong is the fact that the main Diesel engines are the first to be ed "Poppy Day Fund." built locally for a deep, sea vessel, These were manufactured in en- tirety at Taikoo Dockyard under a special licence from Messrs. Sul- zer Bros. Ltd. of Winterthur, and are the direct results of the very successful results obtained from the "Talkoo Cheong" built last year at Taikoo and engined with
Choques should be made pay- able to Thomson & Co, and cross-
a similar engine,
It may be mentioned that this latter vessel is at present working in the harbour with great success. As a result Talkoo Dockyard have on hand other orders for these "Taikoo Bulzer" engines.
