    John Bridges, the chief electrical engineer of Hamilton Oil Company, has concluded through motor testing that DMC competitors Spartan Motors and the Universal Motor Company of Canada offer the first and second choice motors on the market, respectively.

The test results will probably carry significant weight throughout the industry because no other company operating in Canada’s oil fields has an electrical engineering department. Thus, DMC will likely lose sales from companies industry-wide, as many will decide to follow Hamilton’s purchasing policy.…
