E n g . t o go metric MIKE CAST AT LAST! By R.J. Mitchell THE APPLIED HEAT SECTION of the Mechanic- al Engineering Dept is to intro- duce a metric system of units into their courses next session. (The Applied Heat Section covers Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics!, Combustion and Heat Transfer). At a recent meeting the Staff were unanimous in their decision to incorporate the new units into their lectures, but as yet he plan is to use them alongside the present system, rather than substitute them for it, and try to make students 'bi-lingual'. Professor Spalding, Head of the Applied Heat Section, hopes to have things such as Heat Tables avail- able in the new system of units by the start of the next session. The decision to use metric units is in line with general Government policy on this issue. I n M a y last year Mr. Douglas Jay, President of the Board of Trade, issued n oolicy statement in which he s^id that Britain is to switch to a metric system of units. He said that the Change over would probably take about -0 years, but he hoped that industry will have cnanged -within ten years. The Government took this step after representatives from various in- dustries had presented the case in. favour of the change to it. One major advantage of a metric system is that it will make export dealing!* simpler. A Government committee consisting of representatives from the relevant Government departments and In- dustry, was set up to keep the progress in the change-over under constant review and the British Standards Institution was charged with the working out of metric British standards. A spokesman for the Ministry of Technology said they are exhorting the whole of British Industry to adopt the new metric system, and added, "The change will be effected as rapidly as can conventionally be done. We are aware however, of the large number of small practic- caK difficulties. ; Unbfficiai|/, it is expected that the Imperial system of units will be made illegal within the foreseable future, but it is doubjful whetn<T i i h ^ o l d system will die out for a considerable time. The particular metric system that is to be introduced into the Applied Heat courses, and in fact into the country in general, is the 'Internation- al System'. (SI). This is a coherent system with six basic units; metre, kilogramme, second, ampere, de- Cont. on back page, col. 4. GIANT FELIX HUGE SUCCESS FOUR RECORDS TO SHOUT ABOUT 1.

Despite the blistering editorial printed in the last issue the editorial board succumbed to pressures from die Felix Board of Directors, a sub- committee of Council. Casson Honoured Sir Lewisi Casson, Fellow of I.C. at the College from 1892-94, and his wife Dame Sybil Thorndike are to recieve honorary Doctorates of Literature from Oxford University. They are the first husband and wife to be honoured together by Oxford. At the Felix Board meeting be- fore the last issue went to press 1 , a motion was passed which would have limited the number of anonym- ous columnistls to one. When the issue came out it had the usual two columns by Ignotus and Colcutt in defiance of the edict. President Fletcher, who wrote in Felix last year as the columnist Colcutt, called a meeting of the Board and it was believed that the meeting would call for the resigna- tion of the editor and his staff. In the small hours of the morning that the Board was due to meet, a compromise was worked out under which the two offending columns would disappear and the Board would ignore the way in which the editor had disobeyed their com- mands. This was agreed to at the formal meeting.

At Ford we know that quality in cars depends on the calibre of men. The pace of your career with us depends on that calibre as surely as the speed of your car depends on the power built into it. Ford build more and more cars, trucks -and tractors, need more and more men. Tne headquarters of this expanding company is in Brentford in Essex but ford is going ahead in London, Dagenham, Liverpool and Swansea. We need A L L kinds of graduates—mechanical engineers and scientists, for design and development; arts men, scientists and economists.

Our training programmes are tailored to suit individual needs. Engineers may choose a two year graduate apprenticeship or shorter training and appointment within a year; mere are courses for finance trainees and graduate trainees—those interested in sales, purchasing, industrial relations and marketing. Graduates will find Ford rewarding! Salaries being at £960 per annum minimum. Most arts and economics graduates will be earning £1,150 in less than a year—engineers get an increase of at least £100 at the end of each year of their apprenticeship. From then acceleration depends on you.

Promotion at Ford is traditionally from within and graduates have accelerated quickly here. Management Development operates to make sure they can.

There's much to interest the graduates at Ford. See your Appointments Secretary, or write for details to J S Smale, Room 1/178, Ford Motor Company, Warley, Brentwood, Essex, who will be visiting

ICI Mond Division manufactures more than half-a-million tons a

year of organic chemicals, many of them based on petroleum feed­

stocks, as well as the traditional products such as chlorine and

caustic soda. Capacity is being increased by a capital investment

programme which is currently running at more than £20,000,000

a year, and in everything we are doing chemical engineers are

key men.

To match the increasing technological complexity of our processes

we are particularly interested in recruiting capable and enthusi­

astic young men to work on process design and development in its

widest sense, from research to full-scale production. Effective use is

made of such new techniques as the use of mathematical models in

process kinetics, scale-up and control studies, and the application of

computers to the design and optimisation of process flowsheets

and equipment.

Young men are deliberately given wide experience and substantial

responsibility which can fit them for the many senior jobs to be filled

in the Division in the next 10 years.

If you wish to learn more about us, chemical engineers from Mond

Division will be visiting you shortly and can be contacted through

your own careers advisers. If this proves impossible, please contact:—

Personnel Officer (Recruitment),

ICI Mond Division,

new men... new knowledge... new problems to be solved...

Today's children will grow up in a world that Is

being remade before their eyes. They will have a

wider range of opportunities. They will also face

problems calling for new solutions. Today's

children need the most imaginative and creative

teaching. Teaching by men and women who are

among the ablest of their generation... graduates

who are among the most outstanding of their

year. Teachers have greater influence on future

generations than any other profession. lw

When will you own your own house?

Earlier in life than your father did, when plans to

build 500,000 new homes annually come to fruition

in a few years time.

One thing is certain. No industry is going to expand

more dramatically in the next 20 years than the

building industry. It's got to, or Britain will be

one decaying and overcrowded slum.

Take Wates. They are among the biggest builders

and civil engineers in the country. But, more

important, they are among the most imaginative and

forward-looking.

In the next 15 years, Wates intend to double their

productivity.

To do this, they need graduates in science,

technology and the arts.

So does every firm in the country, but the point

about Wates is that their programme is going to

create a lot of room at the top.

And Wates will always, for preference, promote

within the company.

See your Appointments Board now and get an

appointment to meet Wates on the above date.

Or you can write to the Personnel Manager, Wates

Ltd., 1260 London Rd., S.W.16, and arrange a time

to suit yourself. Wates would like you to meet

graduates who have

— to 10 men! U.C.2—I.C.O

I.C. started this match against

the Cup holders in excellent

style, combining well and mov­

ing the ball quickly and accurat­

ely from man to man... the for­

ward line continually broke

through the Kings defence and

Hopwood was unlucky to see his

header go just wide from a

Crawford free kick. Such was

the pressure exerted by I.C., due

mainly to the wing forwards

snapping up chances, that it took

King's ten minutes to launch their

first attack.

Aby B I L L JENKINS

S H R U G G I N G O F F the effects of a four week lay off and the

-absence of a key player for almost two thirds of the match,

I.C. brought a damp and gloomy Harlington to light with a final

five minutes of superb rugby. During this period they scored two

tries, giving them victory over L.S.E. by 9-3 and a place in the

semi-final of the Gutteridge Cup.

FELIX WEEKEND

CHEMISTRY EXAM CRISIS OVER ?

" M o d " Battle at Hop

Until last Saturday, although the " M o d " representation at the H o p had

been steadilv increasing throuehout the year, there had never been any

serious trouble. T h e fellows had been mere'v content to dance among

themselves—practising the latest steps—or to i ' " a* their girl-friends. U n ­

fortunately, they now seem determined—; bly because of their

increased numbers—to disrupt the dances.

T H E P A R T O N E F i n a l Examin­

ations for second-year Chemistry

undergraduates have been returned

to- their original dates. This was the

result of discussions between I C

President Adrian Fletcher and the

H e a d of the Chemistry Department,

Professor R . M . Barrer, last Wednes­

day.

I s h a l l ignore the references t o a witch-hunt, and the a l l e g a t i o n that the ex­

than Mr. L i v e s e y 1 s meagre knowledge of these t o p i c s , w i l l confirm t h a t these comments

are i n the f i r s t ple.ce w i l d l y wide of the mark, and i n the second, downright u n t r u e .

With regard t o the second paragraph, the executive was concerned and i n t e r e s t e d

I am not p a r t i c u l a r l y concenned w i t h the f a t e of Mr. L i v e s e y ' s motion as i t i s

p u r e l y p a r o c h i a l and whichever way the vote goes, I do not b e l i e v e any world s h a t t e r i n g
