Thanks to government pump priming and incentives for private investment, almost $1 billion in capital has flowed in since World War II, and Scotland has outpaced the rest of Britain in its industrial growth rate for three years.

The solution, containing copper sulfate, will then drain into holes drilled at the bottom of the chimney and be pumped up through a shaft to a precipitation plant at the surface. There the solution will be processed to extract metallic copper, and the recovered sulfuric acid recycled for another trip through the chimney...

Justice's other key objections are that the merger would result in a cash drain away from already-strapped ABC (both companies insist that, on the contrary, ITT would be supplying the network with fresh capital) and that it would restrain competition...
