General[edit]
L. B. Industries is a carousel in The Blind Helmsman, released with Mr Chimes' Grand Clearing-Out. It is a variable-length grind, and uses Foreman's Favour as a progress quality. Each point of Foreman's Favour has an assumed value of 0.1 Echoes, as well as a bonus of 1.5 
for turning them in. Turning in your points takes 3 additional actions on top of the actions spent gaining Foreman's Favour. Any surplus points of Foreman's Favour you may have are exchanged for a secondary reward. The activity uses all the main attributes.
The carousel is notable for being a good source of 
Ratty Reliquary as well as one of very few sources of 
Fourth-City Echoes and 
Crackling Devices. The former can be spent in The Rat Market, and the latter also has some high level uses (though has better sources once players reach that point).
Ratterbox serves as a randomizer, similar to 
The Airs of London.
If you leave without cashing out, you can re-enter and leave without spending actions on it.

Strategy[edit]
Note that the calculator currently assumes all rare successes are 20%.
Once accurate data is available, edit the grind page (how?).

Rewards[edit]
For every additional point of Foreman's Favour you have beyond the cost of the reward you choose, you will be given a secondary reward of Bone Fragments. The current conversion rate is: 10 x Bone Fragments per extra 1 x Foreman's Favour.
