One paper company decided to test several brands of V belts to check performance. All belts were installed at the same time on identical pulp beaters. B. F. Goodrich used rhe set of regular grommet belts joe see in the picture. All other manufacturai put on '`super'*, premium-priced belts. Afta 214 years, the paper company engineers Eort complete superiority for BFG gromon elts from rhe standpoint of smooth oper ation, uniform srreten, absence of wear. These typical examples (see preceding pages tell you why B. F. Goodrich grommet belli \ are superior to ordinary V belts--provi they last 20 to 50% longer--yet cost no more i|||S is just o vacation letter, a rambling personal note horn Scandinavia, so turn the page now i( you're a busy engineer with work to do. There's nothing here to hdp you run a plant--just o few tips on the art of hovrng fun, an art we're all opt to forget. For many years I've dreamed of sailing a boat up the jrest coast of Sweden to Oslo, Norway. This is it: We are now heading up the Oslofjord. We left Golhenberg, Sweden, a week ago in the charterr J 39-fl auxiliary sloop KttUan III. The party includes wife, daughter and o wonderful guy--Copt Sten Sellstrum, chief inspector of the Golhenberg Board of Trade. Sten is i first-class sailor. He's a great help in reading the Swedish ind Norwegian'charts and dickering for supplies ashore. Best of all, he has cruised these waters since childhood sod knows them well. We've followed a tortuous course among hundreds of rocky, treeless islands. The scenery is magnificent; this is one of the world's finest cruising grounds, f recommend it to any Power reader looking for a unique vacation. If you - don't sail yourself, you can take a steamer running from Colbenberg to Oslo by way of the islands. But if you want to atop of! at the pleasant fishing villages, you hove to do some harbor-hopping in smaller croft. In your own boat, the way we went, you see every thing, and it's wonderful. Every few miles you come upon a red-roofed fishing village lucked away in some cranny of the great rocks on a bare, lonesome island. You imagine a primitive life, then go ashore to find well-dressed, happy people living in neat, clean houses--virtually all have electricity. It's the Swedish way, one you can't help admiring. Sweden, by the way, has the highest living standord in Europe. The people seem to live almost as well as Amcri* cans, but in o simpler way, with for fewer cars and fewer household appliances. They show great enterprise in getting the abundant hydro power to hundreds of islands by way of a network of submarine cables and pole lines running over the rocks. Afloat, the Swedes ore power-minded also--their sturdy fishing boats are diesel driven. But I didn't come here to mako a power study. This is vacation timo and I hope all of you, in your chosen places and ways, are having as much fun as 1 am.--pws tk 8, f, O iodilch C*f*pnp Pipwlwwnt AM7 * Akvn, QM o( itportt telling usrrt' ftpetienret ind tho*ina tetiul insallicieni whe grommet bdit outlined *1! other*.
