Study Tour
The director of the Agricultural Engineering Institute at Lincoln, Professor J. R. Burton, will leave New Zealand about the middle of next month to spend about nine weeks overseas. He said this week that the purpose of his trip would be to look at similar agricultural engineering organisations overseas and in particular to closely study current research on tractor safety frames and also their testing. Professor Burton will visit Australia, Israel, Sweden, Norway, the United Kingdom. Canada and the United States. In Scandinavia and the United Kingdom he will be joined by the recently-appoint-ed principal research officer of the institute, Mr E. M. Watson, so that together they can look into safety frame testing and research. Mr Watson will stay on in England at the National Agricultural Engineering Institute at Siltsoe for some .weeks thereafter to become fully acquainted with recent developments in agricultural machinery testing and research, and he will come on to New Zealand to take up his new appointment about the end of October. For their visit to Siltsoe Professor Burton and Mr Watson will be joined by the chairman of the institute’s management committee, Mr J. Boyd-Clark, who will be in Britain.
