COMING COMPETITION,

The number of new plants installed for the mechanical loading and unloading of material in bulk, famely, aerial ropeways, belt and bucket conveyors, wagon dumpers, and grab transporters, has increased | rapidly, during the past decade. Designed at first to release manual labour for operations requiring more skill, the methods employed have so improved in utility that there are

Some of the new plants, especially those designed for the loading and unloading of ships, have so grown in size and capacity that they are now. Included amongst the larger

engineering problems of the day,

interested in the cheap and rapid

transport of coal, coke, limestone, iron, manganese and other ores, because, without the means to do this work at a low cost she cannot regaia and maintain the-supremacy in the production of iron and steel that was once enjoyed.`

It may be interesting to recall that the principal cause contributing to that supremacy was the fact of this country being first in the field with the cheapest and most rapid means of transparing minerals in bulk, for it should not be forgotten that both the railroad locomotive and the steamship owe their inception principally to the necessity of devis ing a more efficient means of moving the growing output of the English coal minex.

These primary transporters gave Britain a good start, but other nations carpe quickly into line and then ex- Eastended the use of machinery antil this country was passed, before "the war, in the production of iron and steel by the United States and Germany.

One point that cannot be ignored is the fact that these Chinese and Japanese iconmasters are installing belt conveyors and bridge transporters to replace a class of manual labour that has always been considered the In short, cheapest in the world. these competitors are beginning to look upon the cost of transport as a loss which must be eliminated, as far as possible. Speaking generally, ore must be moved to the coalfields, or coal be taken. to the ore, and the methods employed are worth all the attention that engineers can give them,
