WELDING is one of the many imW portant scientific processes which have made great advancement during the past few years. In this respect Britain has not been behind. In fact, an increasing volume of repair work of this nature is now being received here from all parts of the world.
'Au. example of this occurred recently, when Barimar, Ltd., 14-18, Lamb's Conduit Street, London, W.C.1, received from the U.S.A., for repair by welding, a badly damaged differential. The owner stated that new parts were unobtainable and no concern could be found in .America to undertake the work and guarantee the repair.
As is shown by the illustrations, both housings carrying the ball races in the casing were broken off, the major part of the flange of the differential cage was badly fractured, and several teeth of the pinion were severely damaged.
A guaranteed repair was successfully effected, and this at a cost far less than would have been that of the new components if they had been available.
Although this is certainly a striking
example of Barimar workmanship and technique it is only one of numberless difficult welding tasks with which the company has successfully coped. The guaranteed repair of cratntshafts and badly smashed cylinders are two most successful brafiches of the work for the motor industry, upon which this concern concentrates its vast specialist experience.
