The new motor and engineering works of Steamships Trading Co., Ltd., which have just teen established at Port Moresby, Papua. The motor engineering shop is a welcome innovation in the Territory, as it permits work to be done there which motor-owners formerly were obliged to send South. The shops, however, are principally occupied with the Company’s own work. The Company owns and operates several coastal vessels, a fleet of motor cars and lorries, and a number of timber mills, etc., all or which run different kinds of motor engines, and require constant attention.
