THE INTERRELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MEN, MONEY, MACHINES AND MATERIALS

The paper presents some thoughts on the interrelationship between men, money, machines and materials, with particular reference to the experience gained at "Burmeister & Wain" in their production of series of ships of 52,000 and 60,000 DWT. Future developments are considered, and it is concluded that the natural interrelationship between the four factors is about to be destroyed because of politics, social considerations, exchange rates, defence strategy and national pride. Order from NSFI as No. 17084.
