FLIGHT International. 19 March 1964 TRIAL Here at a Shell refinery, this sample of aviation fuel is undergoing twenty different laboratory tests before it is cleared for shipment—distillation, water reaction, freezing and flash point tests, to specify just four of them. Only if the consignment satisfies every one of its examiners in every single respect will it be passed to a main installation. And this is merely the beginning of the world-wide story of Shell Quality Control. Same laboratory tests. Different location! Once the fuel arrives by tanker at a main installation, samples are rushed to the nearest of Shell's 82 control p^ laboratories. Here skilled chemists submit fuel samples to identical tests in [• X E ™ TIRI ^V L similarly well-equipped laboratories. In fact, throughout the distribution line to the aircraft, Shell aviation fuel is tested and re-tested to ensure the delivery of clean, 'dry,' on-specification fuel.
