2 go A dvertisements. American engineering Competition. The “TIMES” publishes the following, written by its Special Correspondent, after having studied the Industrial Situation in America: “ I must do the Germans the justice to say, however, that there is In Berlin, one of the most complete and best laid out machine-tool factories in the world. Its building up presents a valuable object-lesson to British Tool-makers. The works in question are those of Ludw. Loewe it Co., a firm which for 25 years past, lias made and sold machine tools, and has built up a large business, a good part of it in this country. Four years ago, the Americans came strongly into the European market, as already stated, and the responsible managers of these works soon saw that they would have to meet a competition such as they had never before experienced. To do this they wisely determined that the old crowded works in the centre of Berlin—built up, like so many of our own, piecemeal on the accretion theory—would no longer serve. A large piece of new land was therefore secured on the outskirts of Berlin. The next two years was spent by the managers of the works in travelling in Europe and America, wherever engineering works were to be seen, for the sake of noting everything that was worth noting, and adopting everything that was worth adopting. The result, I regret to say is, that the new works are entirely on American lines. English Engineers who cannot afford the time to visit Berlin for the purpose of seeing these works, can get a fair idea of the extent and completeness of them from an illustrated account which appeared in “ Engineering ” last autumn. 1 would, however, strongly advise all who can do so, to go and see for themselves.”—The “ Times,” June 6th, 190'J. Our Facilities and Experience are at jour Disposal. In no one ENGINEERING ESTABLISHMENT are to be found all the advantages combined in our BERLIN WORKS. WE OFFER TO MANUFACTURERS. 1.

The principal features of the Berlin Works are duplicated in our LONDON SHOW ROOMS, which are arranged as a MODEL SHOP, having a full line of Machines in operation. We also exhibit here and carry in stock a line of SMALL TOOLS and GAUGES, which are important in securing interchangeability of parts and the standardisation of dimensions. LUDW.
