MARCH 27TH, 1941 Advertisements. 21 In a recent announcement (sounds so much nicer than advertisement, doesn't it ?) we made remarks about engineering designers and draughtsmen and their habit of designing things that can't be made. This drew a spirited retort from one of the attacked ntlemen, and we are glad to publish an extract : You should complain ! " says he. " If it wasn't for us designers where would you be? You've been boasting for years that your tools can tackle any production problem ; you've made your name by devising tools to do difficult jobs, and now you bite the hand that has fed you ! When we mark holes to be drilled in awkward places ; or expect nuts to be tightened where there's no room to swing a spanner, we do so not from ignorance or cussedness, but because by so doing we save weight, add strength or something. "It is not our main job to make life easy for the production staff. That is your job." Well, let's admit that the gentleman has a great deal on his side. Let's admit that when we pulled the legs of designers, we did so to get round the right side of the production people. Let's admit anything except the statement that we've " been boasting for years." Boasting! Desoutters boasting! Words fail us. DRILL-GUNS . SCREWDRIVERS . NUTRUNNERS . SHEARS . GRINDERS . COUNTERSINKING TOOLS . BOIT-MTLLIKO TOOLS DESOUTTER BROS. LTD., DEPT.
