Maintaining their overseas busi- ness in spite of the war, they have already shipped big modern biscuit manufacturing plants to Canada, Australia and South Africa; and 0 very big order has come from Chile, a country which formerly gave moat of its .engineering custom to Germ- any. Of two plants ordered from Chile, one has already arrived there. Biscuit manufacturehas become sa automatic that dough fed into one end of the equipment emerges at the other end in the form of the finished Product, stacked ready for packing and untouched by human hands. Ovens are often 200 feet long, heated by as many as 150 gas oi• oil burners or electric elements. Often as many as eight plants operate aide by side, producing 1,920 biscuits a minute or 44,000,000 in a 48-hour week. Many plants are capable of rapid adjustment for producing Army biscuits and the machinery will stand up to the strain of trebling its nor- mal output in emergencies. Britain is the home of the biscuit, not only in the sense that the public's taste sets a quality standard and creates "fashions" to which the rest of the world aspires, but also because British engineers have achieved sup- remacy in perfecting machinery to deal with the amazing increase in demand which has been a feature of the evolution of eating habits in re- cent years. 57 Years Non -Stop Paint -Work The Forth Bridge which celebrates its 511tH anniversary this your, is a gleams for paint. le'orty-live painters are regularly employed on the 135 acres of steelwork. About three years Etre required to cover the whole fabric, and 0115 com- plete coat absorbs 120,000 pounds of paint. Painting has been in progress since 1883, before the bridge was completed, and it is estimated that well over 900 tons of paint has been used so far. The famous bridge, a monument to British steel, was opened by Ring Edward VII when Prince of Wales, and provided a direct east coast all rail route between London and Scot- land by spanning the Firth of Forth. The bridge cost 22,600,000 and materials put into it included up- wards of 54,000 tons of steel, 6.- 500,000 :500,000 rivets, 740,000 cubic feet of granite masonry, 64,300 cubic yards of concrete and 46,300 cubic yards of rubble masonry. The foundations reach 91 feet below water level and Its extreme height is 361 feet above high water stark, or nearly as high as St. Paul's Cathedral, Vast amounts of copper 11108t have collected by now on the bottom of the Firth of Forth beneath the bridge, because of the ninny people crossing by train who throw a half - Penny into the water "for luck." ' Germane warplanes have dropped far more dangerous things into the Forth, but the bridge has not been damaged. "You say he tante out of court pra.eticalty stripped?" "Yes, lost his suit there."
