British Iron & Steel Corporation

The British Iron & Steel Corporation (Salvage) Ltd., commonly referred to as BISCO, was an organisation created during World War II to recycle scrap steel.

BISCO's duties included making the arrangements for the scrapping of surplus Royal Navy ships. The Admiralty would notify BISCO that a ship was available for scrapping; BISCO would then allocate it to a suitable yard for breaking up. The yards were paid their dismantling costs plus an amount per ton of steel recovered. This continued until 1962, after which yards were free to make their own contracts directly.[1]

Type de carrosserie

Depuis le début de l'histoire de l'automobile, on essaye de classer les types de carrosserie. Cependant, ces différentes tentatives n'ont jamais réellement convergé en raison, entre autres, de l'évolution des carrosseries ainsi que des différences importantes d'un pays à l'autre. Dans la version classique, la carrosserie de la berline a trois volumes visuels, c'est-à-dire qu'elle est divisée en trois zones clairement définies : le capot pour le moteur, la cabine pour le conduct...
