Moving up a gear to solve a classic problem

Moving up a gear to solve a classic problem

The origins of British Motor Sport began in the final year of the 19th century with a number of events described as ‘hill-climbs’, but a key event was to be a dash along a public road and up a gentle hill at Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex in 1902. This event neatly combined the essence of what was to become sprinting and speed hill-climbing, and in 1905 the world’s first permanent hill-climb took place at what has now become the iconic Shelsley Walsh in Worcestershire.

The use of bonding systems is gaining increasing popularity among machine builders as more and more come to recognise the potential advantages on offer. For instance, bonding systems enable manufacturers to incorporate new materials into their designs, combining their properties to best effect. Indeed, taking a design approach that embraces adhesives and sealants means that imagination becomes the only restriction in creating a new generation of class-leading machines.

However, finding the time and resources for regular servicing and health checks is not always simple. For production managers in an industrial environment, the dilemma is particularly acute, since the consequences of critical machinery failure not only include the time and cost associated with repairs but the grave prospect of production downtime.
