Abstract

PROJECT Leader, Dr Geoff Dobson, in charge of Automotive Engine Lubricants at BP's Sunbury Research Centre, is the first to applaud his own good luck. It came as a blessed bonus to crown months of effort by him and his team to formulate a satisfactory mineral base oil which would allow BP to make continued headway into the light viscosity automotive lubricants market without recourse to synthetics. The product they discovered in the last resort made this possible. And the background story adds another chapter to BP's not uneventful history.

Abstract

MARKET forces, plus a modicum of common sense, have contributed over twenty‐five years or so to the partial, though not complete, elimination of some of the disastrous attitudes described by Dr David Atterton. They were the cause of lost opportunities and the deterioration of long‐established trade links. Both situations are always critical, preceding either bankruptcy or forcing acceptance of new thinking and better business methods and technologies in order to survive.

Here Interlube managing director, Roger Harrop and senior executives met the party. And here, incidentally, British Transport Hotels demonstrate that their more normal buffet car sandwich standard comes from quite another world …

Abstract

IN January 1979, Benjamin R. Vickers & Sons Ltd began its 151st calendar year as a Leeds family business engaged in general oil merchanting and the manufacturing of purpose‐blended lubricants for industry. While much of the company's current prosperity has been founded on development of oils for local needs—the processing of wool and textile products, including man‐made fibres—application of Vickers oils has ranged widely from marine stern‐tube lubrication to the supply of grease to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.
