[Vol. 86. No. 2,223, JUNE 18, 1920.] BUSINESS NOTES. Notice to Readers.—As several correspondents have placed before us particulars of certain business transactions of a disappointing and unsatisfactory character relating to purchases of conduit, it is thought that there may be others who have been similarly inconvenienced. If so, will they communicate with the Editors of the ELECTRICAL REVIEW, 4, Ludgate Hill, E.C. 4. Siemens Sports' Club.—The directors of Siemens Bros. and Co., Ltd., have presented to the Siemens's Sports Club, formed by the employes of the company at its Woolwich works, a football challenge shield for competition between the various departments. The presentation, which took place on May 28th, was made by two of the directors—the Rt. Hon. Sir William Bull, M.P., and Mr. G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} Chauvin, managing director—who at the same time handed over a room for the accommodation of the club until such time as a suitable sports ground can be found. Sir William Bull congratulated the club upon its success in having over 1,300 members already enrolled. The first winner was the Apparatus Machine Shop, which thus heads the list of names to be engraved upon the shield. The shield, which was designed and made at the Woolwich Works, possesses many unique and emblematic features. It is constructed in fine figured oak, upon which, carved in bas relief, are shown some of the products of the company, viz., overhead telegraph and power lines, an automatic telephone instrument, a searchlight projector, and primary cells. The carving also includes a representation of the company's cableship Faraday, and of a deep sea grapnel, used for picking up submarine cable at great depths. Above the shield proper is a full size football in wrought copper, beneath which appears the Arms of the Borough of Woolwich. The shield is six feet in height, and is arranged for suspension by means of a suitable length of an actual cable which played no inconsiderable part in the successful defeat of the submarine menace in the late war, and which was manufactured at the Woolwich works. Lead.—In their report dated June 12th, Messrs. James Forster & Co. give the following information :— BOARD OF TRADE RETURNS. Tons. The imports for June are given as ... 14,568 The exports for June are given as ... 3,317 ------- Left for home absorption ... 11,251 The latter figure for the seven months November-May (inclusive) is 29,954 tons; against this we venture to give the following figures as a conservative estimate of consumption in the three principal trades, viz:— Pre-war. This year. Tons. Tons. White lead, red lead, &c. ... 35,000 60,000 Electric cables and accumulators ... 60,000 60,000 Sheet and pipe lead, &c. ... 50,000 50,000 ------- ------- 145,000 145,000 We have the white lead and sheet lead estimates from authorities in the trade. The second (electrical) is based on the fact that the cable companies report a record trade both in values and quantity. On these figures (which we are certain are lower than the actual) we have a total consumption of 145,000 tons for the year, against imports available for seven months of 29,954 tons. So far the metal available in the ordinary way for the requirements of consumers has been supplemented by Government war stocks, and in some localities by supplies obtained from the dismantling of chemical plant erected by the Government for war purposes.
