Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

he Rolls-Royce company is, as e've come to expect, making an:her contribution to Britain's export -ive with its diesel engines for the ucking industry. Ten engines have en ordered by the S1SU company Finland for installation in their :hicks, and other engines are on rder destined for South Africa, .ustralia and Canada. These counies alone represent a wide climatic )ectrum and point up the basic )undness of the engines for operaon in all kinds of tough conditions.

Off to a good start

mixed freight haulage company in estern Canada, who have been sing the new diesel engine made by he Oil Engine Division of Rollsoyce at Shrewsbury, report the igines as logging individually 15,000 iiles a month, They've already 'tailed over half-a-million trouble ee miles. Winter temperatures have :en as low as minus 30°F yet at no me have the engines failed to start . a touch of the button.

Just right for Mrs. Castle

ine of the aspects of the Eagle Diesel igine which will please Transport linister Barbara Castle is that the :serve power of the engine—well ithin the discussed proposal of h.p./ton --makes it unlikely that Du will ever see an 'Eagle' powered .uck labouring slowly up a gentle icline, pouring out black smoke!
