In their Introduction, Managing Directors KR Henshaw and ML Ralston report on steady expansion, and emphasise the advancement of KOC's "Kuwaitisation Policy" with increased recruitment and training of skilled Kuwaitis. Progress is described with respect to operations, career development and training, manpower, safety, amenities and ownership. Photos include royal portrait, directors including representatives of the Kuwait Government, operations and installations, and labour force at work and leisure. (2) FACT SHEET 1971: self-wraps 18x21cm, 4pp English text with 2 colour maps and a chart. This presents a brief description of the concession, exploration, drilling, production, terminal loading facilities, refining, power and water, commercial relations, housing and amenities, medical care, and career development and training. One of the maps shows the concession area, and the areas KOC relinquished in 1967 and 1971. The other shows the destination of exports from Mina al Ahmadi.…

Electroencephalogr. Clin. Neurophysiol., 4/2. - May 1952, gr.-8°, pp.187-194, 6 Figs., orig. wrappers. Offprint! *) A contribution from the Biomechanics Group, aided by granst from the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, and the National Research Council, Advisory Committee on Artificial Limbs. Verne Inman (1905-1980) "was an exceptional person in an important position at a pivotal time. Not only did his studies of the biomechanics of locomotion establish the field, they are classics in the application of engineering expertise to clinical problems through basic research." "It was soon evident that basic research was needed if intelligent design changes were to be made in the unsatisfactory prosthetic devices of the time. Here, then, was the opportunity for him to integrate his interests in mechanical and electronic devices, since elucidation of the basic biomechanics of locomotion required study of not only the dynamics of body motion, but also analysis of the phasic electrical activity of the appropriate muscles. As the scope of the project broadened to include problems with muscle physiology, pain, and skin, the Biomechanics Laboratory became the first departmentally based interdisciplinary research group on the San Francisco campus. The collaboration between the basic sciences and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery established high standards for such worthwhile interactions. The goals of basic research as well as their clinical applications were met by the diverse group of specialists who participated in the project. International fame and major publications in the areas of human locomotion, the mechanisms of pain, and rational prosthetic design were the result.".…
