demonstrate Britain’s technological capacity to the People’s Republic of China. The exhibition is being organized with the agreement and co-operation of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade and will present a very wide selection of British industrial goods - machine tools, instrumentation, electronics, aviation and telecommunications equipment, mining and other specialized machinery - much of which has been chosen for display on the basis of known Chinese requirements. British exports to China at present are worth about f31 million a year. Exports have in the past been developed largely on an individual company footing with a considerable degree of success, but trade experts have been anxious to arrange a combined promotion on a scale sufficient to stimulate Chinese interest in British industrial goods as a whole. The last comparable event was the British Industrial Exhibition in Peking of 1964. This year’s exhibition - at the Peking Exhibition Centre -will thus be a further opening for British industry to prove its recent progress in those technological fields where China has shown a specific interest. Equipment to an overall value of some f2.5 million will be displayed in Peking, most of it being offered for sale. It will cover a broad range of industrial products and will include, for example, coal-cutting and haulage equipment and hydraulic roof systems for mining, X-ray equipment, machinery for textiles, knitting and shoe manufacture, plastics moulding machinery, electronic equipment for testing, monitoring and sorting and other tasks, marine and aviation signalling gear, and a variety of electric and diesel motors, pumps and gearboxes. Many smaller components and materials will also be featured, such as control panels, instruments, paints. agricultural chemicals, etc. Interest in the exhibition has been very widespread among British companies since it was first initiated two years ago, and in the early planning of the event particular attention was paid to the types of products which it was felt most clearly met the current needs of the Chinese economy. Although exhibitors are taking part with a view to future trade growth in China, the British Industrial Technology Exhibition is as a whole being staged as a major export promotion to enable British technical experts to meet their Chinese counterparts and explain in detail the potential and the application of their products. For this reason, directly linked with the exhibition will be an extensive programme of lectures that will form the nuclei of technical discussion groups. A total of 227 individual lecture sessions will be held, with the 20 or so members of each audience taking part in the subsequent round-table talks. Technical staff of 78 of the exhibiting companies will be giving the lectures simultaneously in 28 rooms at the Friendship Guest House in Peking where foreign visitors are accommodated. A separate symposium of a more conventional kind is also being organized by the British Electrical & Allied Manufacturers Association, and its member-companies will be contributing technical papers to this event. Running concurrently with the lectures during most of the period of the exhibition will be a programme of 63 technical and industrial films presented by British exhibitors to underline advances in utilization of their equipment, materials or services. The British Industrial Technology Exhibition is thus going to provide many opportunities for detailed technical talks by British exhibitors with groups of high-qualified Chinese experts in their fields, both in the course of the formal discussions and as a result of visits to the exhibition itself. Exhibitors have been advised to be ready to stay in Peking for extra days if necessary after the exhibition closes for further technical or commercial negotiations. More than 200,000 special invitations to buyers and technicians representing trading organizations and end-users throughout China have been prepared by the organizers and distributed by the CCPIT. A 300-page catalogue to the exhibition containing data sheets on hundreds of products has been printed in English and 108
Chinese for long-term use by 10,000 visitors of special-interest status. In addition 200,000 copies of a 16-page guide will be given to all visitors to the exhibition. Advance groups of exhibitors will be flying out to Peking from Britain under special travel arrangements that have been made by the organizers. They will be there to supervise the arrangement of their exhibits and other facilities in readiness for the opening of the exhibition on 26 March. The organizers are, Industrial and Trade Fairs International Ltd. appointed by the Department of Trade and Industry. 24th National Plant Engineering and Maintenace Show and Conference McCormick Place, Chicago, USA, 12-l 5 March, 1973. Over 500 companies will exhibit thousands of ideas on how to cut maintenance costs and increase plant operating efficiency. At the conference : 50 sessions, 70 papers on the best plant operation practices, best solutions to plant problems.
