Overview: Commercial demands and increasing global competition have led to enormous mechanical evolution over recent years. Twin-wires, wide-nip presses, steam boxes and speed sizers have all played a part in improving both the productivity and quality of paper and board products. With the emphasis on mechanical and electrical engineering and the ever increasing pressures of quality measurement and control, little time has been available within a technical department for much reflection on the chemistry of the process. Thus there is a growing trend for the management of the wet-end to be deleg

Overview: Probably, we are obliged to Science, more than to any other field of the human activity, for the origin of our sense that collective efforts are necessary indeed. F. Joliot-Curie The study of autowave processes is a young science. Its basic concepts and methods are still in the process of formation, and the field of its applications to various domains of natural sciences is expanding continuously. Spectacular examples of various autowave processes are observed experimentally in numerous laboratories of quite different orientations, dealing with investigations in physics, chemistry an

Overview: This history of GKN (formerly Guest, Keen & Nettlefolds) shows the dramatic changes which occurred to the group in the 25 years following the end of the first world war. It describes the merger with the steelmakers, John Lysaght, the development by acquisition of its fastener interests and the extension of the business into Australia and India. With the rise of H.Seymour Berry, Lord Buckland and Sir David Llewellyn to the highest ranks of its management, a new strategy for growth was implemented: the takeover of major collieries in South Wales and associated sales and marketing compa
