type of locomotive is of outstanding design. A/S Eureka Mek. Verksted manufactures and exports marine pumps. An industry that is barely a quarter of a century old, but which has built up an extensive export market, is the Norwegian motor-engine trade. Norwegian motor builders have succeeded in producing types eminently suitable for use in fishing vessels, and which fill the high standard required in so perilous a pursuit as fishing. In the ordinary types the makers primarily aim at turning out an engine of simple and powerful construction giving dependability under all con- ditions. The small number of fishing vessels lost along the Norwegian coast in the course of the year is eloquent proof of the fact that makers have evolved motor types that give practically perfect reliability of service. It may be of interest to note that 80 per cent. of the 20,000 or so of registrable vessels in the Norwegian fishing fleet are motor-engined, and the preponderating number of these engines are of Norwegian make. Of builders whose motors have gained the greatest recognition and are exported in fairly considerable numbers, we may mention A/S Mo- toren “Rap”, whose engine bears the same name; A/S De Forenede Motorfabrikker, makers of the «Union» motor, and M. Haldorsen & Son, who build the «Wichmann» engine. 87
