Examines in depth the practical realities and difficulties of initiating and sustaining a major tourism development project which is intended to further economic regeneration and job‐creation and is funded in partnership with the European Union. The financial framework of the scheme, the “Hotties” in St Helens (Merseyside), is provided by the European Structural Funds including the RECHAR Initiative. The contribution of the European Regional Development Fund and the European Social Fund are also evaluated. In addition the purportedly complementary role of central government is addressed, through the Urban Programme and City Challenge schemes. Two fundamental issues emerge as crucially governing outcomes: the precise structure and nature of the complex public/private partnerships involved; and vexed problem of “additionality”, which remains an unresolved matter. Clearly demonstrates the urgent need for far greater integration and co‐ordination of public policy and the rationalization of the application and implementation procedures.

IT is a long time since The Life of Johnson defined man as a tool‐making animal, and the tools he used in those days were primitive when contrasted with the precise, complicated and sophisticated ones employed today. Early tools were really evolved through centuries as necessary extensions of a man's arms. A spade gave them leverage and a longer reach.

A drop — centre aeroplane wheel comprising two main cast sections, a hub portion carried by each section, screw threads formed in a portion of one of said hub sections locking means including a threaded sleeve having an abutment slidable through a portion of the other of said hub sections and engaging the threads in said hub section, and means including a pin to lock the sleeve against rotation, relative to said other hub section.

If this journal, which is of course The Institute's official mouthpiece, appears to have put strong emphasis on the subject of Energy Conservation this year, our Editor remains entirely unrepentant! Members will recall that, way back in June, the bizarre chapter of Ekofisk first came under study in his monthly “Comment.” The Editor pointed out that oil companies, when reviewing their anti‐pollution capabilities, could do well to acknowledge that a few miles of oil‐blackened shoreline can negate overnight, the years spent polishing their public image.

A joint structure for a curved surface in aircraft construction comprising intersecting and overlapping strips of sheet metal covering said curved surface and joined by a soft solder only, and exposed principally to shear, said metal strips being of foil‐like thickness and being composed of a high tensile strength heat treated steel, and— said solder having a fusing temperature inter mediate the fusing temperatures of lead‐tin and brazing solders for steel.
