From shipyards along the lower Tyne and Glasgow's narrow Clyde came forth the proud ships that once ruled the waves. Until World War II, Great Britain built nearly half of the world's vessels. But for at least a decade the British shipbuilding industry has been badly ailing: last year it launched 1,000,000 tons of merchant ships, less than in 1947, while the Japanese alone produced six times that amount, carving out 47% of the total world production...
...some 1,300,000 tons, representing 10% of world total, were under construction in British yards v. Japan's 4,200,000 tons, or 31.6%. While that is still a rather wide gap, Sir John Hunter, 55, head of the Swan Hunter Group of shipbuilders on the Tyne, says: "We are beginning to see some daylight...

And when a study of 22 patients at Newcastle-upon-Tyne showed that in 21 cases their blood was thicker than that of healthy subjects, Walder felt sure he was on the right track. But he needed to know just what was causing the blood to change-and merely measuring its viscosity was no easy task...
Oversold. Milward issued a statement passing the blame on to the Rolls-Royce Tyne engines that power BEA's 19 Vanguard propjets. Since mid-May, metal fragments have been showing up in the engine oil sumps, and they were found to come from compressor bearings. Pilots have had to call off flights just before takeoff because they have found oil pressure too low, and with as many as four Vanguards at a time in the shop for repairs, often due to a shortage of spare parts, the fault has had a snowball effect on BEA schedules. The newer three...
