IRON HANDS AS EVERY HOUSEWIFE KNOWS; a lot of time and energy can be wasted simply in moving things from place to plaee. Materials handling as Industry calls it plays a large part in the manufacture of chemicals and in L.C.I. machines for doing this tedious, back-breaking work have been developed to 1 stage that bears comparison with anything anywhere in the world. At ICIs limestone quarry near Buxton; for example, eleetrically driven shovels which handle up to five tons at one grab dig the stone blasted from the solid rock face and load it into twelve-ton diesel lorries. These carry the stone to a huge automatic erushing plant. There the stone is mechanically erushed, washed, graded, and loaded into railway wagons, and at n0 step in this complicated process does the stone need to be manhandled. Today; the latest machinery for making light of heavy work can be scen in every IC.I; plant; for the company S policy is to provide its workers with every tool that can increase efficiency and raise productivity.
