"AUTOMATION NEEDS SKILLED MEN "—MR. FULTON lkAUCI-I had been heard about auto LVI in industry, but it demanded skilled people to run the system, Mr. H. W. Fulton, managing director of Albion Motors, Ltd., said at Leyland, last week, when he presented awards to more than 50 „apprentices of Leyland Motors, Ltd.
He looked forward to the time when there might be an interchange of apprentices between factories in the Leyland group.
Mr. H. Glassbrook, Leyland apprentices' superintendent, said that to cater more fully for apprentices, £35,000 had been spent on equipment for his department. Where, previously, it comprised a foundry and machine and fitting shops, it now had a section for sheetmetal work.
Sir Henry Spurrier, managing director, presented certificates to six employees who had each completed 25 years' service, and made awards of £200, £1.00 and £50 for the best suggestions of the year.
