which can always count on a regular sale all the world over, no matter what the general state of trade may be. At the head of the list we may mention hydro- electric machinery. The vast volumes of developable water power in Norway have created such facilities for the development of hydro-electric machinery that the Norwegian turbine industry now occupies, also internationally, a front-rank position. Turbines built in Norway or executed to Norwegian drawings are installed in a number of water-power countries. The leading firm in this field is A/S Kverner Brug of Oslo. This company has in the course of years placed epoch-making designs on the market. Its turbine list shows to-day the output-number 2687, and an aggregate developed power volume of 2'/2 million h. p.; it includes giants of 40,000 h.p. and for all heads up to 900 metres. Of other machines that are exported, and which not only hold their own, but in some instances are supreme in the world’s market, we may mention wood-working, paper, and chemical pulp machines, and machines and appliances for whaling stations and herring-oil works. Quite a number of wood-ware manufacturers in several European countries have installed planing machines from A/S Myrens Verksted; and A/S Thunes Mek. Verksted builds paper-making machines of every capacity. The latter company also supplies locomotives to the Norwegian State Railways, and its mountain 86
