The european common Market countries Are work ing hard to close the techno logical Gap with the United states so As to improve their competitive position in world Trade. James Nelson of the Ottawa staff of the Canadian who spent a month in common Market countries tells of the difficulties they face. By James Nelson Paris up at the sea port of St Malo Brittany from which Commodore Jac ques Cartier sailed away on a smiling morning in May on m s first exploration trip to Canada there is a Law prohibiting any Structure taller than three storeys. Its purpose is to ensure that Cannon in the fort behind will have an unobstructed line of fire to any sailing ships enter ing the Harbor. The Law was promulgated 300 years ago by Jean Baptiste Colbert Louis Xiv s financial reformer and Navy builder. It s still in effect re presenting the kind of archaic regulation that pervades not Only France but most Mem Bers of the european com Mon Market. The six France Germany Italy Luxembourg and the Netherlands Are moving into the forefront of world Trade in a highly competitive spirit. And they Are All worried about their so called techno logical Gap with North Amer Ica the Way the United states remains constantly ahead of them in developing new skills techniques and products. The problem is a deeply rooted one which politicians have fought Over universities and other research institutes have Analysed and business men have discussed. Arts emphasised it shows the markets for Industrial goods and in re Tail stores and food shops where English and american Brand name products abound. It also lies at the Root of re cent student disturbances. There Are violent complaints about the educational system which is Over weighted on the arts rather than the sciences and requires Many More years of spotting to turn out fewer technicians than Ameri can universities. But trying to do something Concrete about the technological Gap even in one Field such As housing is frustrated by regulation and deep rooted National conscience. In the face of Competition in lumber and Timber from the scandinavian countries and the now predominant use of steel and Cement in Commer Cial construction the Cana aircraft technique applied to housing Vancouver up a former test Pilot is using an aircraft construction technique to carve out a share of the expanding instant housing business in Canada. W. G. Anglin of North Van Couver introduced Monocoque design in his factory assembled buildings eliminating struts and supports. Instead stress is absorbed by the Layor of finishing material Over a Light Shell. In the Case of buildings this is done by gluing Wall sheathing on a Frame of two by threes. We weren t the first to discover. This idea but we Are the first to adapt it to building construction. It makes our buildings both lighter and said or. Anglin. His company fab co manufacturing Ltd., has provided work Camp housing at lumber Mills overnight stations for railway work gangs school buildings and even an instant City Hall Foi Gold River . When the units leave Here hey Are fully said or. Anglin an Engineer trained at the Boeing school of Aero n a u t i c a who incorporated taboo in 1965. They have stoves furnaces refrigerators air conditioning bookcases Beds made up with Linen and blankets kitchens Complete with thing the owner his biggest competitor is Atco industries Ltd. Of Calgary which has been operating since the second world War and had sales last year of Atco is Canada s biggest manufacturer of such buildings. Fab co developed from the West coast trailer group of had an interest. It has a had an interest. It has a Square foot Plant on five acres and now Sells instead of Leas 1 ing its units. Cost for 13 overnight railway stations for Canadian Pacific j railway workers was i they contained 421 bedrooms and Kitchen facilities and were used from British Columbia to Ontario. The filly equipped units Are heavily loaded during shipment but says or. Anglin the Mono Coque construction absorbs the stress. The units also have been lifted by helicopter into Remote areas. The floors Are built on two by six joists. But the Walls Are attached to a Light Frame of two by threes instead of the usual two by fours and Are glued not nailed. This distributes the stress to the Wall itself instead of just the Frame. For insulation and soundproofing the three Inch space Between inner and outer Walls is filled with Glass fiber. We can come up with different combinations of accommodation from the units we Are producing said or. An Lin. Dividends Dominion and Anglo invest ment co., 5-per-cent pref. Sept. 1, record aug. 15. Guaranty Trust co. Of Canada Ltd., common 12 cents oct. 15, record sept. 30. Dian government has been trying to interest Western Europe in Canadian techniques of Timber Frame construction for housing. Europe is desperately Short of housing with a big backlog of demand still remaining from War damage and a rapidly expanding population. Multi unit Row housing if not High Rise apartment blocks is the Only answer to the limited space available for housing. Still Hunt Timber but fear of fire and require ments of sturdiness still Dic Tate Brick Stone and mortar construction heavy and slow to erect. Some Timber Frame houses have been built in the Netherlands As in Britain but breaking Down prejudices against it is a slow process. Use of Timber Frame construction the technique now almost universally used in new housing projects in can Ada May bring to Europe too the use of Canadian fur Naces plumbing fixtures and hardware some Canadian officials think. But Italy s dominance in this Field with its Small fam ily run enterprises of 10 employees or less is Likely to re main and probably grow with the removal of Tariff restrictions among the six. Other officials say that the Only real Hope Canadian manufacturers have of breaking into the Market is to produce totally new and distinctive products unlike anything on the european Market. At the other extreme from Basic housing materials and techniques there is a growing Market in Western Europe for electronics products from Canada. This appears paradoxical in the Light of German prowess in instruments and the like. The reason is that an entirely different set of Crite Ria enters into the electronics business than in most other Fields. One expert in the Field said that Price Quality and Avail ability Are the main factors on which such things As wheat Timber base metals and retail goods Are sold Rhode and Schwarts of Munich is a big supplier of electronic measuring and metering devices. In addition to its own production it imports and retails american and some Canadian electronics to round out its catalogue a company official in co Logne said Price is not the principal Factor. It is first specifications and second features. Availability and service rank next then Price. A new improved version of an already established elec tronic device is not going to make headway in Europe unless it is so greatly different and improved that the owner and user of older equipment is prepared to scrap it he said. Scrapping an existing device usually Means that All the re cords of its use built up Over a period of years become obsolete. A Rhode and Schwarts Salesman also said Europe faces a particular problem in the electronics Industry be cause of its great variety of languages and cultures. Distance is Handicap a user who wants to com Plain about a particular de vice or seek further information about it has difficulty picking up a Telephone and simply talking about it be cause of its if the conversation is in his native Tongue. When products move across Borders and language differences become involved the difficulty is compounded. The Only solution then is to have an Engineer come to the Trou ble spot and Deal with it first hand. It s not easy or cheap for a Canadian Engineer to Fly to Europe As frequently As May be needed. The Canadian Trade com missioner service has run into problems in getting Canadian suppliers of electronics or scientific equipment of any kind to have their sales and specifications data translated into the Many languages required. Italy s rapid Industrial expansion in the Milan Turin area is. Believed to provide a major Market for Canadian electronics and other sophisticated Industrial equipment. One of the major difficulties Here As in other Fields is for Canadian manufacturers to know what markets there Are for those requiring new devices to know what is Avail Able in Canada. Canadian Trade commission Empire Sheet Metal Mac. Co. Ltd. 725 Madison St. Specialist in shut Metal fabricating ers make it a major part of their jobs to try to Bridge this. It May be necessary to hire professional Market consult ants locally in the most promising areas to ensure More Complete and current information on Market Poten tial is available.
