Nelco Multilayer Workshop

Gale‐force winds and generally inclement weather conditions, especially for those who travelled from north of the Border, fortunately did not affect attendance at, or mar the success of, the fourth Multilayer Workshop held on 8–9 February at the modern production facility of New England Laminates (UK) at West Pimbo Industrial Estate, Skelmersdale, Lancashire. This was Circuit World's second visit to Nelco, and, whereas the earlier visit provided interesting and informative insight into the company's activities (featured together with Nelco SA, Dijon, France, as a Company Profile in Circuit World , Vol. 12, No. 3), the opportunity to attend the Workshop was a special bonus in that it proved extremely instructive and practical, providing a ‘feel’ for the basic ingredients of multilayer materials and how best to utilise them for successful bonding.
