For instance, when some equipment shipped from France for the factory arrived in Kaoshiung, it was found to be short of spare parts, and the French engineers who were supposed to have assembled it had gone on leave for three months.
在中磷公司建廠期間，所有的生產設備都是向法國及比利時購買的。當設備機械運抵高雄後，卻因為零件欠缺，加上圖說文件不明，無法安裝。恰巧又碰上了法國人的假期，若是要等外國技師來台裝施，勢必要拖延三個月以上。
