"A Ship For
The Job

Following nearly a year of on
the-job tests, engineers report the
worlds largest ship board derrick
crane to be an unqualified success.
Built in Norway, this crane has
lifting capacity of 200 tons and is
installed aboard the Norwegian To-
connective carries Christian Smith"
launched in 1917.
Both vessel and lifting gear are
of Norwegian design and origin,
and represent one of the many de-
partures used by Norwegian ship
pers in building specialized vessels
designed for particular jobs. This
type of carrier was developed by
Norwegian Merchant Marine Cap
tain Christen Smith in the early
20s. Previous to then, bulky and
heavy items such as locomotives
could not be shipped as units, as
few ports in the world had the nee
essary loading IN d unloading
equipment. Unit transport of such
items could become possible only
when the ship itself was equipped
with derricks of the required ca
pacity.
To meet this need, Captain Smith
and the Norwegian firm Arnesen,
Christensen and Smith of Oslo and
Newcastle designed the first in
series of new-type vessels - the
now-famous BEL" ships = which
opened a new field in trans-ocean
Shipping. The heavy cranes for
this first, and following, vessels
were developed and built by the
Norwegian shipbuildipg and con-
struction firm AS Fredrikstad
Mex. Verksted. During the war,
the Allies built a number of yes
sells for heavy transport whose de-
sign and equipment were essential
Nv the same as those of the Chr1s-
ten Smith original.
With the completion in 194' OF
the "Christen Smith equipped
with the giant 200-ton crane, the
Fredrikstad firm achieved another
first. Much study has gone into de-
vehoping units of this type as their
installation aboard ships presents
special problems owing to the
heavy list of the vessel during
loading. The cranes must also De
lightly built to keep them from
being top-heavy and to reduce air
resistance.

STOCKHOLM. - The Swedish
match industry, perhaps Sweden S
foremost goodwill ambassador
and known from "Greenlands icy
mountains to the shores of far
Cathay,' recently celebrated it's
Tooth anniversary. From the JON
koping match factory, where the
centenary was observed with fes-
Invites, medals and gratuities, the
Swedish safety match started it's
march through the world. A rev.
olutionary invention at the time,
it gave Sweden its first world in
dustry demonstrating the feasibil-
ity of large-scale production also
in a field where the country is not
selfsupplying in the matter of raw
materials. Swedish tenacity and
technical knowledge made this glo-
bal conquest possible, and skilled
enterprisers perfected the world
wide business organization.
Despite the difficulties occasion
ed by the Kreuger crash in the
1905 the Swedish match industry
continues to hold a premier posi-
ton, with a 1947 export volume of
some 100000 900 boxes. This is
certainly no record figure, but
nevertheless an impressive result
in these days of international
complications and trade restric-
lions.
The first Swedish match con-
Germ was founded in 1916 by Johan
and Carl Lundstr0m, who two
years later moved into their own
premises at Jonk0ping. Beginning
with matches made of yellow phos-
phorus they gradually eliminated
this substance which exposed the
workers to the risk of necrosis and
constituted a dangerous poison in
the hands of ignorant users. SWe-
dish safety matches were patent
ed in 1855, but did not get into
common use until the middle
1905 after the striking compound
had been improved. In the mean
time the concern had built up a
considerable export market, espec-
ially in Britain. The Lundstrom
brothers never let an inferior box
leave their factory, and it was not
long before their matches could Sc
cure a price above their German
and other competitors.

First steps in the reconstruction
of Norway's Nazi-destroyed iron
mines at Sgd Varanger were taken
on September 10Th when the Par
liament's Finance Committee ap-
proved a Government program for
financing this long-discussed prof.
ect. Located far north of the Arc
tic Circle near the Norwegian-So-
Wet boundry, the sgd Varanger de-
posits were producing nearly 600,-
900 tons of dressed oar each year
before the war, and were that
country's main domestic iron
source.
Terms of the program provide
for the Department of Industries
guaranteeing a $13,35O. 900 loan, at
the same time authorizing direct
Government loan of 5000, 900. In
addition, the Department will be
authorized to purchase on the be-
half of the Government at par
81 GOO, 900 in new shares which will
raise the capital stock of AS Sgd
Varanger from $4,000, 900 to So
100000. This stock outlay will be
covered under the 194S-49 State
Budget.

THE SCANDINAVIAN AMERICAN
Match Industry Celebrates Centenary

The success of the J0nk0ping
factory had given many competi-
tors their cue even in Sweden: in
the subsequent decades more than
$50 match factories were in oper-
alton in the country. The fact that
SO few survived was due to the
high technical standards set and
to the technical enterprise of the
Lundstrom brothers and, after
them, the ingenious inventor AL
exander Lagerman. In less than
20 years Lagerman mechanical
the industry to such an extent that
already in the 1905 it was said
that box of J0nkoping matches
contained nothing which had been
touched by human hands.
The result was not only a super
ior and uniform product, but also,
within a few years, a sevenfold
production per working hour plac-
ing J0nk0ping way ahead of its
re g n competitors. However,
many of the subsequent Swedish
concerns had also succeeded in
building up a considerable good
will, and in the first years of this
century competition had reached
point endangering the entire in
dustry Cooperation was the sole
way out. In 1903 Baron F. Low
enadler, proprietor of one of the
Jonkoping factories and of the
large British match export firm
TRIMMER & Co. Successors, Ltd,
took the initiative in launching the
Joonk0ping & Vulcan Match Co.,
and ten years later the remaining
13 concerns merged in another con-
Germ, with War Kreuger as man.
aging director. Kreuger reorgan-
lied the sales. raw materials and
production sections of this COM
pany so skilfully that it was cap
able of meeting World War I and
could soon take the initiative to
cooperation with Jonkoping 4
Vulcan. In 1917, the Swedish
Match Co. (Svenska Tandsticksak-
tiebolaget or STAB was formed,
embracing all Swedish match fac
tories.
After World War I the world
market was such that if STAB
had not assumed the offensive it
would have run the risk of being
ruined. The company therefore be-
gan to secure control of a num-
Der of important match concerns
in Europe, India and the Far
East
The financial and commercial or
ganization built up for STAB un-
der the Kreuger era proved so SOL
id that the company survived the
1882 crash and subsequently sue
ceeded in settling all its debts in
a 15-year period, notwithstanding
World War II. Thanks to intelll-
gent direction and constant pio-
neering in the technical field, the
Swedish Match Co. has succeeded
in retaining it's place among Swe-
denis Inventive industries, ana
