HC Deb 16 July 1962 vol 663 c15W
74. Mr. Small

asked the Parliamentary Secretary for Science to what extent Scottish firms are co-operating with the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research in the application to industrial processes of hydrostatic transmissions and techniques for automatic error correction in machine tools.

Mr. Denzil Freeth

Three applications for licences under patents pending in the name of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research for hydrostatic transmissions have been received from firms in Scotland. Co-operation with one of them has resulted in the detailed design of a transmission. No inquiries concerned with automatic error correction in machine tools have been received from firms in Scotland.
